We're dividing 4978101 by 856 
We're looking to find how many times 856 goes into 4978101.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 856 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 856

Let's proceed to step 2:
49 divided by 856 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 497 / 856

Moving on to step 3:
856 can be fit into 497 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 497.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 497 leaves us with 497.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 497, then carry on: 4978 / 856

Advancing to step 4:
The number 856 fits into 4978 5 times, leaving a remainder of 698.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 4280 from 4978 leaves us with 698.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 698 and repeat the process: 6981 / 856

On to step 5:
856 goes into 6981 8 times with a remainder of 133.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we subtract 6848 from 6981, we get 133.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 133 and continue: 1330 / 856

Step 6:
The number 856 fits into 1330 1 times, leaving a remainder of 474.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 581.0
Subtracting 856 from 1330 leaves us with 474.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 474 and continue: 4741 / 856

Step 7:
856 goes into 4741 5 times with a remainder of 461.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5815.0
Subtract 4280 from 4741 to get 461.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4610, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
856 can be fit into 4610 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 330.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5815.5
If we subtract 4280 from 4610, we get 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
856 can be fit into 3300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 732.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5815.53
Subtracting 2568 from 3300 leaves us with 732.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 856 fits into 7320 8 times, leaving a remainder of 472.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5815.538
If we subtract 6848 from 7320, we get 472.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
4720 divided by 856 is 5 with a remainder of 440.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5815.5385
If we subtract 4280 from 4720, we get 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

Step 12:
4400 divided by 856 is 5 with a remainder of 120.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5815.53855
If we subtract 4280 from 4400, we get 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

The final result is 5815.53855 with a remainder of 0.00012.
