We look at the division of 46805636 by 978 
Our goal is to divide 46805636 by 978.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 978, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 978

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 46 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 46, we end up with 46.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 468 / 978

On to step 3:
If we divide 468 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 468.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 468 after subtracting 0 from 468.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 468, then carry on: 4680 / 978

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 978 fits into 4680 4 times, leaving a remainder of 768.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 3912 from 4680, we get 768.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 768, then repeat: 7685 / 978

On to step 5:
978 can be fit into 7685 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 839.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 47.0
The remainder is 839 after subtracting 6846 from 7685.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 839 and continue with: 8396 / 978

Going ahead to step 6:
978 can be fit into 8396 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 572.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 478.0
The remainder is 572 after subtracting 7824 from 8396.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 572, then repeat: 5723 / 978

Advancing to step 7:
978 can be fit into 5723 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 833.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4785.0
Deduct 4890 from 5723 and we're left with 833.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 833, then carry on: 8336 / 978

Step 8:
978 can be fit into 8336 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 512.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47858.0
Subtracting 7824 from 8336 leaves us with 512.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 978 fits into 5120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 230.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47858.5
If we take 4890 away from 5120, we end up with 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
2300 divided by 978 is 2 with a remainder of 344.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47858.52
If we take 1956 away from 2300, we end up with 344.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 3440 by 978, we get 3 and a remainder of 506.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47858.523
The remainder is 506 after subtracting 2934 from 3440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5060, and continue the process.

Step 12:
978 can be fit into 5060 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 170.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47858.5235
Subtracting 4890 from 5060 leaves us with 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Step 13:
1700 divided by 978 is 1 with a remainder of 722.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47858.52351
If we subtract 978 from 1700, we get 722.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 7220 by 978, we get 7 and a remainder of 374.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 47858.523517
Subtract 6846 from 7220 to get 374.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 3740 by 978, we get 3 and a remainder of 806.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47858.5235173
Deduct 2934 from 3740 and we're left with 806.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8060, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 978 fits into 8060 8 times, leaving a remainder of 236.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47858.52351738
Subtract 7824 from 8060 to get 236.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2360, and continue the process.

The final result is 47858.52351738 with a remainder of 2.36e-07.
