Let's divide 58428243 by 978
We want to divide 58428243 by 978.

Let's proceed to step 1:
978 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 978

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 58 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 58, we get 58.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 584 / 978

Going ahead to step 3:
978 goes into 584 0 times with a remainder of 584.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 584 leaves us with 584.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 584 and repeat the process: 5842 / 978

On to step 4:
978 can be fit into 5842 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 952.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 952 after subtracting 4890 from 5842.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 952, then carry on: 9528 / 978

Moving on to step 5:
9528 divided by 978 is 9 with a remainder of 726.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 59.0
Deduct 8802 from 9528 and we're left with 726.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 726 and continue: 7262 / 978

Moving on to step 6:
The number 978 fits into 7262 7 times, leaving a remainder of 416.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 597.0
The remainder is 416 after subtracting 6846 from 7262.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 416 and continue with: 4164 / 978

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 4164 by 978, we get 4 with a remainder of 252.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5974.0
If we subtract 3912 from 4164, we get 252.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 252, then repeat: 2523 / 978

Let's proceed to step 8:
2523 divided by 978 is 2 with a remainder of 567.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59742.0
Deduct 1956 from 2523 and we're left with 567.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5670, and continue the process.

Step 9:
5670 divided by 978 is 5 with a remainder of 780.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59742.5
If we take 4890 away from 5670, we end up with 780.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7800, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 978 fits into 7800 7 times, leaving a remainder of 954.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59742.57
If we take 6846 away from 7800, we end up with 954.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9540, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 978 fits into 9540 9 times, leaving a remainder of 738.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59742.579
Subtracting 8802 from 9540 leaves us with 738.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
978 can be fit into 7380 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 534.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 59742.5797
If we take 6846 away from 7380, we end up with 534.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5340, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 978 fits into 5340 5 times, leaving a remainder of 450.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59742.57975
If we subtract 4890 from 5340, we get 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
978 can be fit into 4500 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 588.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59742.579754
Subtracting 3912 from 4500 leaves us with 588.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5880, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
978 goes into 5880 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59742.5797546
Deduct 5868 from 5880 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 978 fits into 120 0 times, leaving a remainder of 120.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 59742.5797546
If we take 0 away from 120, we end up with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 59742.5797546 with a remaining 1.2e-07.
