47988308 ÷ 977 
We're looking to find how many times 977 goes into 47988308.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 977, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 977

On to step 2:
47 divided by 977 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 479 / 977

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 479 by 977, we get 0 and a remainder of 479.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 479 leaves us with 479.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 479 and continue with: 4798 / 977

Advancing to step 4:
977 goes into 4798 4 times with a remainder of 890.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 3908 from 4798 and we're left with 890.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 890, then repeat: 8908 / 977

On to step 5:
977 can be fit into 8908 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 115.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 115 after subtracting 8793 from 8908.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 115, then carry on: 1153 / 977

Moving on to step 6:
977 can be fit into 1153 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 176.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 491.0
Subtract 977 from 1153 to get 176.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 176 and continue: 1760 / 977

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 1760 by 977, we get 1 with a remainder of 783.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4911.0
Subtracting 977 from 1760 leaves us with 783.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 783 and continue: 7838 / 977

Step 8:
977 can be fit into 7838 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49118.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 7816 from 7838.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 977 fits into 220 0 times, leaving a remainder of 220.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 49118.0
Deduct 0 from 220 and we're left with 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
977 goes into 2200 2 times with a remainder of 246.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49118.02
If we subtract 1954 from 2200, we get 246.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
977 can be fit into 2460 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 506.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49118.022
If we subtract 1954 from 2460, we get 506.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5060, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 49118.022, and the remainder is 0.0506.
