We're dividing 2978372 by 608 
Our goal is to divide 2978372 by 608.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 608, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 608

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 608, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 297 / 608

On to step 3:
When dividing 297 by 608, we get 0 with a remainder of 297.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 297 and we're left with 297.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 297 and continue: 2978 / 608

Going ahead to step 4:
608 can be fit into 2978 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 546.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 2432 from 2978, we get 546.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 546, then carry on: 5463 / 608

Going ahead to step 5:
5463 divided by 608 is 8 with a remainder of 599.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48.0
The remainder is 599 after subtracting 4864 from 5463.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 599, then repeat: 5997 / 608

Advancing to step 6:
5997 divided by 608 is 9 with a remainder of 525.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 489.0
The remainder is 525 after subtracting 5472 from 5997.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 525 and continue with: 5252 / 608

Advancing to step 7:
The number 608 fits into 5252 8 times, leaving a remainder of 388.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4898.0
Subtracting 4864 from 5252 leaves us with 388.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
608 can be fit into 3880 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 232.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4898.6
The remainder is 232 after subtracting 3648 from 3880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 2320 by 608, we get 3 and a remainder of 496.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4898.63
If we subtract 1824 from 2320, we get 496.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 4960 by 608, we get 8 and a remainder of 96.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4898.638
Subtract 4864 from 4960 to get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
608 goes into 960 1 times with a remainder of 352.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4898.6381
If we subtract 608 from 960, we get 352.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 3520 by 608, we get 5 and a remainder of 480.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4898.63815
Deduct 3040 from 3520 and we're left with 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
608 goes into 4800 7 times with a remainder of 544.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4898.638157
If we take 4256 away from 4800, we end up with 544.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
608 goes into 5440 8 times with a remainder of 576.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4898.6381578
If we take 4864 away from 5440, we end up with 576.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 608 fits into 5760 9 times, leaving a remainder of 288.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4898.63815789
If we subtract 5472 from 5760, we get 288.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2880, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4898.63815789, with a leftover of 2.88e-07.
