Let's divide 8466455 by 978
We want to divide 8466455 by 978.

Moving on to step 1:
978 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 978

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 84 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 84.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 84 and we're left with 84.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 84, then repeat: 846 / 978

Step 3:
978 goes into 846 0 times with a remainder of 846.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 846, we end up with 846.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 846, then carry on: 8466 / 978

Step 4:
978 can be fit into 8466 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 642.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 7824 from 8466 leaves us with 642.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 642, then carry on: 6424 / 978

On to step 5:
When dividing 6424 by 978, we get 6 with a remainder of 556.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 86.0
Subtract 5868 from 6424 to get 556.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 556, then carry on: 5565 / 978

Advancing to step 6:
978 goes into 5565 5 times with a remainder of 675.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 865.0
If we subtract 4890 from 5565, we get 675.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 675, then carry on: 6755 / 978

Step 7:
If we divide 6755 by 978, we get 6 and a remainder of 887.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8656.0
Deduct 5868 from 6755 and we're left with 887.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8870, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 8870 by 978, we get 9 and a remainder of 68.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8656.9
If we take 8802 away from 8870, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
680 divided by 978 is 0 with a remainder of 680.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8656.9
If we subtract 0 from 680, we get 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 6800 by 978, we get 6 with a remainder of 932.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8656.906
If we take 5868 away from 6800, we end up with 932.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9320, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 9320 by 978, we get 9 and a remainder of 518.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8656.9069
Deduct 8802 from 9320 and we're left with 518.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5180, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 5180 by 978, we get 5 with a remainder of 290.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8656.90695
Subtract 4890 from 5180 to get 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2900, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 978 fits into 2900 2 times, leaving a remainder of 944.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8656.906952
If we subtract 1956 from 2900, we get 944.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 9440 by 978, we get 9 and a remainder of 638.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8656.9069529
If we take 8802 away from 9440, we end up with 638.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6380, and continue the process.

Step 15:
978 goes into 6380 6 times with a remainder of 512.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8656.90695296
Deduct 5868 from 6380 and we're left with 512.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5120, and continue the process.

The final result is 8656.90695296 with a remainder of 5.12e-07.
