Let's divide 17216464 by 978
We want to figure out the number of times 17216464 can be divided by 978.

On to step 1:
The number 978 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 978

Let's proceed to step 2:
978 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 172 / 978

Going ahead to step 3:
978 goes into 172 0 times with a remainder of 172.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 172 and we're left with 172.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 172, then repeat: 1721 / 978

On to step 4:
When dividing 1721 by 978, we get 1 with a remainder of 743.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 743 after subtracting 978 from 1721.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 743, then repeat: 7436 / 978

Moving on to step 5:
The number 978 fits into 7436 7 times, leaving a remainder of 590.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 6846 from 7436 leaves us with 590.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 590 and continue with: 5904 / 978

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 5904 by 978, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 176.0
If we subtract 5868 from 5904, we get 36.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 366 / 978

Step 7:
If we divide 366 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 366.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1760.0
Subtracting 0 from 366 leaves us with 366.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 366, then repeat: 3664 / 978

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 3664 by 978, we get 3 and a remainder of 730.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17603.0
If we subtract 2934 from 3664, we get 730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
978 goes into 7300 7 times with a remainder of 454.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17603.7
Subtracting 6846 from 7300 leaves us with 454.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 4540 by 978, we get 4 and a remainder of 628.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17603.74
The remainder is 628 after subtracting 3912 from 4540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6280, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
978 can be fit into 6280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 412.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17603.746
Deduct 5868 from 6280 and we're left with 412.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4120, and continue the process.

Step 12:
978 goes into 4120 4 times with a remainder of 208.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17603.7464
Subtracting 3912 from 4120 leaves us with 208.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
978 goes into 2080 2 times with a remainder of 124.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17603.74642
If we subtract 1956 from 2080, we get 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
978 can be fit into 1240 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 262.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17603.746421
If we take 978 away from 1240, we end up with 262.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
978 can be fit into 2620 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 664.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17603.7464212
The remainder is 664 after subtracting 1956 from 2620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 6640 by 978, we get 6 and a remainder of 772.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17603.74642126
Subtracting 5868 from 6640 leaves us with 772.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7720, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17603.74642126 with a balance of 7.72e-07.
