Let's divide 40049483 by 978
We want to divide 40049483 by 978.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 978

Going ahead to step 2:
978 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 400 / 978

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 400 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 400.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 400 and we're left with 400.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 400, then carry on: 4004 / 978

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 4004 by 978, we get 4 and a remainder of 92.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 3912 from 4004 to get 92.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 92, then repeat: 929 / 978

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 929 by 978, we get 0 with a remainder of 929.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 929, we end up with 929.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 929 and continue with: 9294 / 978

Step 6:
978 can be fit into 9294 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 492.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 409.0
If we take 8802 away from 9294, we end up with 492.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 492, then repeat: 4928 / 978

Step 7:
978 goes into 4928 5 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4095.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 4890 from 4928.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 383 / 978

Step 8:
If we divide 383 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 383.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40950.0
The remainder is 383 after subtracting 0 from 383.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3830, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
978 can be fit into 3830 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 896.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40950.3
Deduct 2934 from 3830 and we're left with 896.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
978 can be fit into 8960 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 158.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40950.39
Subtract 8802 from 8960 to get 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Step 11:
1580 divided by 978 is 1 with a remainder of 602.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 40950.391
If we subtract 978 from 1580, we get 602.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6020, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 6020 by 978, we get 6 with a remainder of 152.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40950.3916
If we subtract 5868 from 6020, we get 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Step 13:
978 goes into 1520 1 times with a remainder of 542.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40950.39161
The remainder is 542 after subtracting 978 from 1520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
5420 divided by 978 is 5 with a remainder of 530.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40950.391615
If we take 4890 away from 5420, we end up with 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 5300 by 978, we get 5 and a remainder of 410.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40950.3916155
Deduct 4890 from 5300 and we're left with 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 40950.3916155 and a remainder of 4.1e-06.
