Let's divide 53952752 by 978
Our goal is to divide 53952752 by 978.

Let's proceed to step 1:
978 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 978

Going ahead to step 2:
978 goes into 53 0 times with a remainder of 53.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 53 leaves us with 53.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 539 / 978

Going ahead to step 3:
539 divided by 978 is 0 with a remainder of 539.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 539, we end up with 539.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 539, then repeat: 5395 / 978

On to step 4:
When dividing 5395 by 978, we get 5 with a remainder of 505.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 4890 from 5395, we get 505.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 505, then carry on: 5052 / 978

On to step 5:
5052 divided by 978 is 5 with a remainder of 162.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 4890 away from 5052, we end up with 162.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 162 and repeat the process: 1627 / 978

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 1627 by 978, we get 1 and a remainder of 649.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 551.0
Subtract 978 from 1627 to get 649.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 649 and repeat the process: 6495 / 978

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 6495 by 978, we get 6 with a remainder of 627.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5516.0
Deduct 5868 from 6495 and we're left with 627.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 627 and repeat the process: 6272 / 978

Step 8:
978 can be fit into 6272 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 404.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55166.0
Deduct 5868 from 6272 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.

On to step 9:
The number 978 fits into 4040 4 times, leaving a remainder of 128.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55166.4
Subtracting 3912 from 4040 leaves us with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Step 10:
978 goes into 1280 1 times with a remainder of 302.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55166.41
Subtracting 978 from 1280 leaves us with 302.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3020, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 978 fits into 3020 3 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55166.413
Subtracting 2934 from 3020 leaves us with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
978 goes into 860 0 times with a remainder of 860.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55166.413
Subtract 0 from 860 to get 860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
8600 divided by 978 is 8 with a remainder of 776.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 55166.41308
If we take 7824 away from 8600, we end up with 776.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 978 fits into 7760 7 times, leaving a remainder of 914.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55166.413087
If we subtract 6846 from 7760, we get 914.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
978 can be fit into 9140 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 338.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55166.4130879
If we subtract 8802 from 9140, we get 338.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
978 goes into 3380 3 times with a remainder of 446.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 55166.41308793
Deduct 2934 from 3380 and we're left with 446.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4460, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 55166.41308793 and a remainder of 4.46e-07.
