471978 divided by 64 
We're looking to find how many times 64 goes into 471978.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 64, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 64

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 64, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 471 / 64

Let's proceed to step 3:
471 divided by 64 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 448 from 471 and we're left with 23.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 239 / 64

Step 4:
The number 64 fits into 239 3 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73.0
Deduct 192 from 239 and we're left with 47.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 477 / 64

Moving on to step 5:
477 divided by 64 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 737.0
Subtract 448 from 477 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 298 / 64

Step 6:
If we divide 298 by 64, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7374.0
Subtracting 256 from 298 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 7:
420 divided by 64 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7374.6
If we subtract 384 from 420, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
64 can be fit into 360 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7374.65
If we subtract 320 from 360, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
400 divided by 64 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7374.656
If we take 384 away from 400, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 160 by 64, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7374.6562
Subtracting 128 from 160 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 64 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7374.65625
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 320 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 0 by 64, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7374.65625
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
64 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7374.65625
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7374.65625 with a balance of 0.0.
