We're dividing 461878 by 30 
Our goal is to divide 461878 by 30.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 30, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 30

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 30 fits into 46 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 30 from 46 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 161 / 30

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 161 by 30, we get 5 and a remainder of 11.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 150 away from 161, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 30

Advancing to step 4:
118 divided by 30 is 3 with a remainder of 28.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 153.0
Subtract 90 from 118 to get 28.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 287 / 30

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 30 fits into 287 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1539.0
Subtract 270 from 287 to get 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 30

Let's proceed to step 6:
178 divided by 30 is 5 with a remainder of 28.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15395.0
Subtracting 150 from 178 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
30 goes into 280 9 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15395.9
Deduct 270 from 280 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
100 divided by 30 is 3 with a remainder of 10.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15395.93
Subtract 90 from 100 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
100 divided by 30 is 3 with a remainder of 10.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15395.933
If we subtract 90 from 100, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final result is 15395.933 with a remainder of 0.001.
