Let's divide 4497268 by 978
Our goal is to divide 4497268 by 978.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 44 / 978

Going ahead to step 2:
44 divided by 978 is 0 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 44 and we're left with 44.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 449 / 978

Moving on to step 3:
The number 978 fits into 449 0 times, leaving a remainder of 449.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 449 leaves us with 449.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 449, then repeat: 4497 / 978

On to step 4:
If we divide 4497 by 978, we get 4 and a remainder of 585.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 585 after subtracting 3912 from 4497.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 585 and repeat the process: 5852 / 978

Moving on to step 5:
5852 divided by 978 is 5 with a remainder of 962.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 45.0
Deduct 4890 from 5852 and we're left with 962.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 962 and repeat the process: 9626 / 978

Advancing to step 6:
9626 divided by 978 is 9 with a remainder of 824.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 459.0
If we subtract 8802 from 9626, we get 824.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 824 and continue with: 8248 / 978

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 978 fits into 8248 8 times, leaving a remainder of 424.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4598.0
Deduct 7824 from 8248 and we're left with 424.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
4240 divided by 978 is 4 with a remainder of 328.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4598.4
Deduct 3912 from 4240 and we're left with 328.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 3280 by 978, we get 3 and a remainder of 346.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4598.43
If we subtract 2934 from 3280, we get 346.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 3460 by 978, we get 3 with a remainder of 526.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4598.433
Subtracting 2934 from 3460 leaves us with 526.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5260, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4598.433 and a remainder of 0.0526.
