44878109 divided by 971 
We're looking to find how many times 971 goes into 44878109.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 971, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 44 / 971

On to step 2:
44 divided by 971 is 0 with a remainder of 44.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 44 to get 44.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 448 / 971

On to step 3:
If we divide 448 by 971, we get 0 and a remainder of 448.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 448 to get 448.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 448 and repeat the process: 4487 / 971

Advancing to step 4:
971 goes into 4487 4 times with a remainder of 603.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 603 after subtracting 3884 from 4487.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 603, then repeat: 6038 / 971

Moving on to step 5:
The number 971 fits into 6038 6 times, leaving a remainder of 212.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we subtract 5826 from 6038, we get 212.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 212, then carry on: 2121 / 971

On to step 6:
If we divide 2121 by 971, we get 2 and a remainder of 179.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 462.0
If we take 1942 away from 2121, we end up with 179.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 179, then carry on: 1790 / 971

On to step 7:
When dividing 1790 by 971, we get 1 with a remainder of 819.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4621.0
If we subtract 971 from 1790, we get 819.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 819, then carry on: 8199 / 971

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 971 fits into 8199 8 times, leaving a remainder of 431.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46218.0
If we take 7768 away from 8199, we end up with 431.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 4310 by 971, we get 4 with a remainder of 426.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46218.4
Subtract 3884 from 4310 to get 426.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
4260 divided by 971 is 4 with a remainder of 376.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46218.44
If we subtract 3884 from 4260, we get 376.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3760, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 46218.44, with a leftover of 0.376.
