We look at the division of 23337579 by 978 
We're looking to find how many times 978 goes into 23337579.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 978 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 978

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 978 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 233 / 978

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 978 fits into 233 0 times, leaving a remainder of 233.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 233, we get 233.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 233, then carry on: 2333 / 978

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 2333 by 978, we get 2 and a remainder of 377.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 1956 from 2333 to get 377.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 377 and continue with: 3777 / 978

On to step 5:
If we divide 3777 by 978, we get 3 and a remainder of 843.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtracting 2934 from 3777 leaves us with 843.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 843 and continue: 8435 / 978

Advancing to step 6:
978 goes into 8435 8 times with a remainder of 611.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 238.0
If we subtract 7824 from 8435, we get 611.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 611, then repeat: 6117 / 978

Moving on to step 7:
The number 978 fits into 6117 6 times, leaving a remainder of 249.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2386.0
Deduct 5868 from 6117 and we're left with 249.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 249 and continue: 2499 / 978

Moving on to step 8:
2499 divided by 978 is 2 with a remainder of 543.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23862.0
If we subtract 1956 from 2499, we get 543.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 5430 by 978, we get 5 and a remainder of 540.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23862.5
If we take 4890 away from 5430, we end up with 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 5400 by 978, we get 5 with a remainder of 510.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23862.55
If we subtract 4890 from 5400, we get 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5100, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 23862.55 with a balance of 0.51.
