We're dividing 46595902 by 978 
We want to divide 46595902 by 978.

On to step 1:
978 goes into 4 0 times 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.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 978

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 46 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 46.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 46, we end up with 46.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 465 / 978

Advancing to step 3:
The number 978 fits into 465 0 times, leaving a remainder of 465.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 465 to get 465.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 465, then carry on: 4659 / 978

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 4659 by 978, we get 4 and a remainder of 747.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 3912 away from 4659, we end up with 747.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 747, then carry on: 7475 / 978

On to step 5:
978 goes into 7475 7 times with a remainder of 629.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 6846 away from 7475, we end up with 629.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 629 and repeat the process: 6299 / 978

On to step 6:
978 goes into 6299 6 times with a remainder of 431.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 476.0
Subtracting 5868 from 6299 leaves us with 431.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 431 and repeat the process: 4310 / 978

Let's proceed to step 7:
978 can be fit into 4310 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 398.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4764.0
Subtracting 3912 from 4310 leaves us with 398.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 398, then repeat: 3982 / 978

Advancing to step 8:
The number 978 fits into 3982 4 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47644.0
Subtract 3912 from 3982 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
978 goes into 700 0 times with a remainder of 700.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47644.0
Deduct 0 from 700 and we're left with 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 7000 by 978, we get 7 and a remainder of 154.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47644.07
Subtract 6846 from 7000 to get 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 1540 by 978, we get 1 with a remainder of 562.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47644.071
The remainder is 562 after subtracting 978 from 1540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5620, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
5620 divided by 978 is 5 with a remainder of 730.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47644.0715
The remainder is 730 after subtracting 4890 from 5620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 7300 by 978, we get 7 with a remainder of 454.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 47644.07157
Subtracting 6846 from 7300 leaves us with 454.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
4540 divided by 978 is 4 with a remainder of 628.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47644.071574
Deduct 3912 from 4540 and we're left with 628.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6280, and continue the process.

Step 15:
6280 divided by 978 is 6 with a remainder of 412.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47644.0715746
If we take 5868 away from 6280, we end up with 412.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
4120 divided by 978 is 4 with a remainder of 208.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47644.07157464
If we subtract 3912 from 4120, we get 208.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Our division results in 47644.07157464 with a remaining 2.08e-07.
