48655880 divided by 978 
Our goal is to divide 48655880 by 978.

On to step 1:
978 goes into 4 0 times 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.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 978

Step 2:
978 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 486 / 978

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 486 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 486.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 486 to get 486.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 486, then carry on: 4865 / 978

On to step 4:
978 can be fit into 4865 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 953.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 3912 from 4865 to get 953.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 953 and continue with: 9535 / 978

On to step 5:
If we divide 9535 by 978, we get 9 and a remainder of 733.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we subtract 8802 from 9535, we get 733.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 733 and repeat the process: 7338 / 978

Advancing to step 6:
978 can be fit into 7338 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 492.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 497.0
Deduct 6846 from 7338 and we're left with 492.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 492, then repeat: 4928 / 978

Moving on to step 7:
978 can be fit into 4928 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4975.0
If we subtract 4890 from 4928, we get 38.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 380 / 978

Advancing to step 8:
The number 978 fits into 380 0 times, leaving a remainder of 380.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49750.0
Subtract 0 from 380 to get 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
978 goes into 3800 3 times with a remainder of 866.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49750.3
Subtract 2934 from 3800 to get 866.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 8660 by 978, we get 8 and a remainder of 836.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49750.38
If we take 7824 away from 8660, we end up with 836.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
978 can be fit into 8360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 536.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49750.388
Deduct 7824 from 8360 and we're left with 536.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5360, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 49750.388, and the remainder is 0.0536.
