We're dividing 36473559 by 978 
We want to figure out the number of times 36473559 can be divided by 978.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 978 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 36 / 978

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 36 by 978, we get 0 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 36, we get 36.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 364 / 978

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 364 by 978, we get 0 with a remainder of 364.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 364 leaves us with 364.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 364 and continue: 3647 / 978

Let's proceed to step 4:
978 goes into 3647 3 times with a remainder of 713.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 2934 from 3647 and we're left with 713.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 713 and continue with: 7133 / 978

Step 5:
The number 978 fits into 7133 7 times, leaving a remainder of 287.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtract 6846 from 7133 to get 287.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 287, then carry on: 2875 / 978

Moving on to step 6:
978 can be fit into 2875 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 919.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 372.0
If we subtract 1956 from 2875, we get 919.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 919 and continue: 9195 / 978

Advancing to step 7:
The number 978 fits into 9195 9 times, leaving a remainder of 393.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3729.0
The remainder is 393 after subtracting 8802 from 9195.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 393, then carry on: 3939 / 978

Step 8:
If we divide 3939 by 978, we get 4 and a remainder of 27.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37294.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 3912 from 3939.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
978 goes into 270 0 times with a remainder of 270.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37294.0
Deduct 0 from 270 and we're left with 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2700, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 978 fits into 2700 2 times, leaving a remainder of 744.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37294.02
Subtracting 1956 from 2700 leaves us with 744.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7440, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 7440 by 978, we get 7 with a remainder of 594.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37294.027
Deduct 6846 from 7440 and we're left with 594.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5940, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 5940 by 978, we get 6 with a remainder of 72.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37294.0276
If we subtract 5868 from 5940, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 720 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 720.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 37294.0276
If we take 0 away from 720, we end up with 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7200, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 7200 by 978, we get 7 and a remainder of 354.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37294.027607
If we take 6846 away from 7200, we end up with 354.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 3540 by 978, we get 3 with a remainder of 606.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37294.0276073
The remainder is 606 after subtracting 2934 from 3540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6060, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 978 fits into 6060 6 times, leaving a remainder of 192.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37294.02760736
Subtracting 5868 from 6060 leaves us with 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

The final result is 37294.02760736 with a remainder of 1.92e-07.
