We're dividing 45316878 by 971 
We're looking to find how many times 971 goes into 45316878.

Moving on to step 1:
971 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 45 / 971

On to step 2:
When dividing 45 by 971, we get 0 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 45, we get 45.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 453 / 971

On to step 3:
If we divide 453 by 971, we get 0 and a remainder of 453.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 453 after subtracting 0 from 453.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 453 and repeat the process: 4531 / 971

Step 4:
If we divide 4531 by 971, we get 4 and a remainder of 647.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 3884 away from 4531, we end up with 647.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 647 and repeat the process: 6476 / 971

Let's proceed to step 5:
971 goes into 6476 6 times with a remainder of 650.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtracting 5826 from 6476 leaves us with 650.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 650 and continue with: 6508 / 971

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 971 fits into 6508 6 times, leaving a remainder of 682.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 466.0
Deduct 5826 from 6508 and we're left with 682.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 682, then carry on: 6827 / 971

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 971 fits into 6827 7 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4667.0
Subtract 6797 from 6827 to get 30.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 308 / 971

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 308 by 971, we get 0 and a remainder of 308.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46670.0
Subtract 0 from 308 to get 308.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3080, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
971 can be fit into 3080 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 167.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46670.3
Deduct 2913 from 3080 and we're left with 167.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 1670 by 971, we get 1 and a remainder of 699.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46670.31
If we take 971 away from 1670, we end up with 699.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6990, and continue the process.

Step 11:
971 goes into 6990 7 times with a remainder of 193.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46670.317
Subtracting 6797 from 6990 leaves us with 193.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1930, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
971 can be fit into 1930 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 959.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46670.3171
The remainder is 959 after subtracting 971 from 1930.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 9590 by 971, we get 9 with a remainder of 851.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46670.31719
Subtracting 8739 from 9590 leaves us with 851.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 8510 by 971, we get 8 and a remainder of 742.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46670.317198
The remainder is 742 after subtracting 7768 from 8510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7420, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
971 goes into 7420 7 times with a remainder of 623.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 46670.3171987
Deduct 6797 from 7420 and we're left with 623.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 971 fits into 6230 6 times, leaving a remainder of 404.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46670.31719876
Deduct 5826 from 6230 and we're left with 404.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4040, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 46670.31719876, and the remainder is 4.04e-07.
