41978782 divided by 878 
Our goal is to divide 41978782 by 878.

Step 1:
878 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in 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.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 41 / 878

Step 2:
When dividing 41 by 878, we get 0 with a remainder of 41.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 41 leaves us with 41.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 419 / 878

On to step 3:
419 divided by 878 is 0 with a remainder of 419.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 419 leaves us with 419.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 419, then repeat: 4197 / 878

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 4197 by 878, we get 4 and a remainder of 685.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 3512 from 4197 to get 685.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 685, then carry on: 6858 / 878

Let's proceed to step 5:
878 goes into 6858 7 times with a remainder of 712.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtracting 6146 from 6858 leaves us with 712.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 712, then repeat: 7127 / 878

Step 6:
The number 878 fits into 7127 8 times, leaving a remainder of 103.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 478.0
Subtract 7024 from 7127 to get 103.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 103 and continue with: 1038 / 878

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 1038 by 878, we get 1 and a remainder of 160.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4781.0
Deduct 878 from 1038 and we're left with 160.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 160, then carry on: 1602 / 878

On to step 8:
When dividing 1602 by 878, we get 1 with a remainder of 724.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47811.0
Subtracting 878 from 1602 leaves us with 724.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 878 fits into 7240 8 times, leaving a remainder of 216.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47811.8
The remainder is 216 after subtracting 7024 from 7240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 878 fits into 2160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 404.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 47811.82
Deduct 1756 from 2160 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 878 fits into 4040 4 times, leaving a remainder of 528.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47811.824
The remainder is 528 after subtracting 3512 from 4040.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
878 goes into 5280 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47811.8246
If we take 5268 away from 5280, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 120 by 878, we get 0 and a remainder of 120.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47811.8246
If we subtract 0 from 120, 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
878 goes into 1200 1 times with a remainder of 322.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47811.824601
If we subtract 878 from 1200, we get 322.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 878 fits into 3220 3 times, leaving a remainder of 586.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47811.8246013
Deduct 2634 from 3220 and we're left with 586.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5860, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 878 fits into 5860 6 times, leaving a remainder of 592.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47811.82460136
Subtracting 5268 from 5860 leaves us with 592.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5920, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 47811.82460136, and the remainder is 5.92e-07.
