We divide 61458017 by 978
We want to divide 61458017 by 978.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 978 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 978

Moving on to step 2:
61 divided by 978 is 0 with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 61 to get 61.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 614 / 978

Moving on to step 3:
978 can be fit into 614 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 614.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 614, we end up with 614.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 614, then repeat: 6145 / 978

Step 4:
The number 978 fits into 6145 6 times, leaving a remainder of 277.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 5868 from 6145 leaves us with 277.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 277, then carry on: 2778 / 978

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 2778 by 978, we get 2 with a remainder of 822.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Deduct 1956 from 2778 and we're left with 822.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 822, then repeat: 8220 / 978

Step 6:
The number 978 fits into 8220 8 times, leaving a remainder of 396.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 628.0
Subtracting 7824 from 8220 leaves us with 396.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 396, then repeat: 3961 / 978

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 3961 by 978, we get 4 and a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6284.0
Subtracting 3912 from 3961 leaves us with 49.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 497 / 978

Going ahead to step 8:
978 goes into 497 0 times with a remainder of 497.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62840.0
If we take 0 away from 497, we end up with 497.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4970, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
978 goes into 4970 5 times with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 62840.5
If we subtract 4890 from 4970, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 978 fits into 800 0 times, leaving a remainder of 800.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62840.5
If we subtract 0 from 800, we get 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8000, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
978 can be fit into 8000 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 176.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 62840.508
Deduct 7824 from 8000 and we're left with 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 1760 by 978, we get 1 with a remainder of 782.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62840.5081
Deduct 978 from 1760 and we're left with 782.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7820, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
7820 divided by 978 is 7 with a remainder of 974.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62840.50817
If we subtract 6846 from 7820, we get 974.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9740, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 9740 by 978, we get 9 with a remainder of 938.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62840.508179
Subtracting 8802 from 9740 leaves us with 938.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9380, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 978 fits into 9380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 578.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62840.5081799
If we subtract 8802 from 9380, we get 578.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5780, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 62840.5081799 with a balance of 5.78e-06.
