We look at the division of 42876007 by 978 
We want to divide 42876007 by 978.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 978, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 978

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 428 / 978

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 428 by 978, we get 0 with a remainder of 428.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 428 leaves us with 428.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 428, then carry on: 4287 / 978

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 4287 by 978, we get 4 with a remainder of 375.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 3912 from 4287, we get 375.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 375, then repeat: 3756 / 978

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 3756 by 978, we get 3 with a remainder of 822.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43.0
Subtract 2934 from 3756 to get 822.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 822 and repeat the process: 8220 / 978

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 8220 by 978, we get 8 with a remainder of 396.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 438.0
The remainder is 396 after subtracting 7824 from 8220.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 396 and continue with: 3960 / 978

On to step 7:
The number 978 fits into 3960 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4384.0
Deduct 3912 from 3960 and we're left with 48.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 487 / 978

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 487 by 978, we get 0 with a remainder of 487.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 43840.0
Subtract 0 from 487 to get 487.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4870, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
978 goes into 4870 4 times with a remainder of 958.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43840.4
Subtract 3912 from 4870 to get 958.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 978 fits into 9580 9 times, leaving a remainder of 778.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 43840.49
Subtracting 8802 from 9580 leaves us with 778.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7780, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 7780 by 978, we get 7 and a remainder of 934.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43840.497
If we subtract 6846 from 7780, we get 934.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 9340 by 978, we get 9 with a remainder of 538.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43840.4979
Subtracting 8802 from 9340 leaves us with 538.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
978 can be fit into 5380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 490.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43840.49795
Deduct 4890 from 5380 and we're left with 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4900, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 4900 by 978, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43840.497955
Subtracting 4890 from 4900 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 43840.497955, and the remainder is 1e-06.
