Well, honey, when you're dividing 3972 by 41, you know that the first digit of the quotient will be in the tens place because 41 doesn't go into 39. So, you move to the next digit, which is 3. 41 goes into 39 zero times, so you bring down the 7. Then, you see that 41 goes into 72 once, which gives you 9 as the first digit in the quotient. Voila!
