We divide 47870978 by 125
Our goal is to divide 47870978 by 125.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 125, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 125

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 125 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 478 / 125

Moving on to step 3:
478 divided by 125 is 3 with a remainder of 103.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 375 from 478 leaves us with 103.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 103 and continue with: 1037 / 125

Step 4:
When dividing 1037 by 125, we get 8 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 1000 from 1037 and we're left with 37.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 370 / 125

Moving on to step 5:
The number 125 fits into 370 2 times, leaving a remainder of 120.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 382.0
Subtracting 250 from 370 leaves us with 120.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 120, then carry on: 1209 / 125

Moving on to step 6:
125 goes into 1209 9 times with a remainder of 84.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3829.0
If we take 1125 away from 1209, we end up with 84.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 84, then carry on: 847 / 125

Step 7:
125 can be fit into 847 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 97.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38296.0
Subtract 750 from 847 to get 97.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 97, then carry on: 978 / 125

Step 8:
125 goes into 978 7 times with a remainder of 103.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 382967.0
Subtract 875 from 978 to get 103.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1030, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 125 fits into 1030 8 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 382967.8
If we take 1000 away from 1030, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
300 divided by 125 is 2 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 382967.82
Deduct 250 from 300 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
125 goes into 500 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 382967.824
Subtract 500 from 500 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 0 by 125, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 382967.824
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 0 by 125, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 382967.824
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 382967.824, and the remainder is 0.0.
