We look at the division of 72239454 by 972 
Our goal is to divide 72239454 by 972.

Advancing to step 1:
972 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 972

Let's proceed to step 2:
972 goes into 72 0 times with a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 722 / 972

Step 3:
The number 972 fits into 722 0 times, leaving a remainder of 722.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 722 and we're left with 722.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 722 and continue: 7223 / 972

Step 4:
7223 divided by 972 is 7 with a remainder of 419.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 6804 from 7223, we get 419.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 419 and repeat the process: 4199 / 972

Step 5:
If we divide 4199 by 972, we get 4 and a remainder of 311.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74.0
Deduct 3888 from 4199 and we're left with 311.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 311 and repeat the process: 3114 / 972

Advancing to step 6:
972 goes into 3114 3 times with a remainder of 198.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 743.0
Subtract 2916 from 3114 to get 198.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 198 and repeat the process: 1985 / 972

Moving on to step 7:
The number 972 fits into 1985 2 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7432.0
Subtract 1944 from 1985 to get 41.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 414 / 972

Going ahead to step 8:
972 goes into 414 0 times with a remainder of 414.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74320.0
Subtract 0 from 414 to get 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 4140 by 972, we get 4 and a remainder of 252.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74320.4
If we take 3888 away from 4140, we end up with 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
972 goes into 2520 2 times with a remainder of 576.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74320.42
Subtracting 1944 from 2520 leaves us with 576.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 972 fits into 5760 5 times, leaving a remainder of 900.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74320.425
Subtracting 4860 from 5760 leaves us with 900.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9000, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 9000 by 972, we get 9 with a remainder of 252.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74320.4259
Subtract 8748 from 9000 to get 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
2520 divided by 972 is 2 with a remainder of 576.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74320.42592
Subtract 1944 from 2520 to get 576.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5760, and continue the process.

Step 14:
972 can be fit into 5760 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 900.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 74320.425925
Deduct 4860 from 5760 and we're left with 900.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 9000 by 972, we get 9 and a remainder of 252.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74320.4259259
If we subtract 8748 from 9000, we get 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
If we divide 2520 by 972, we get 2 and a remainder of 576.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74320.42592592
If we subtract 1944 from 2520, we get 576.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5760, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 74320.42592592, with a leftover of 5.76e-07.
