We divide 23696945 by 978
We want to figure out the number of times 23696945 can be divided by 978.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 978

On to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 978, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 236 / 978

Moving on to step 3:
236 divided by 978 is 0 with a remainder of 236.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 236 and we're left with 236.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 236 and repeat the process: 2369 / 978

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 2369 by 978, we get 2 with a remainder of 413.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 1956 from 2369 leaves us with 413.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 413, then repeat: 4136 / 978

Advancing to step 5:
978 goes into 4136 4 times with a remainder of 224.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 3912 from 4136, we get 224.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 224 and continue: 2249 / 978

On to step 6:
978 goes into 2249 2 times with a remainder of 293.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 242.0
If we subtract 1956 from 2249, we get 293.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 293 and continue: 2934 / 978

Moving on to step 7:
978 goes into 2934 3 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2423.0
Deduct 2934 from 2934 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 5 / 978

Advancing to step 8:
978 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24230.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 50 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24230.0
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
978 goes into 500 0 times with a remainder of 500.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24230.0
Subtracting 0 from 500 leaves us with 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5000, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 24230.0, with a leftover of 0.5.
