1781711 divided by 478 
Our goal is to divide 1781711 by 478.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 478 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 478

On to step 2:
478 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 478

Going ahead to step 3:
478 goes into 178 0 times with a remainder of 178.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 178 after subtracting 0 from 178.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 178, then carry on: 1781 / 478

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 1781 by 478, we get 3 with a remainder of 347.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 1434 from 1781, we get 347.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 347, then repeat: 3477 / 478

Advancing to step 5:
478 can be fit into 3477 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 131.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
The remainder is 131 after subtracting 3346 from 3477.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 131 and repeat the process: 1311 / 478

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 1311 by 478, we get 2 with a remainder of 355.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 372.0
Subtract 956 from 1311 to get 355.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 355 and repeat the process: 3551 / 478

On to step 7:
When dividing 3551 by 478, we get 7 with a remainder of 205.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3727.0
If we subtract 3346 from 3551, we get 205.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2050, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 478 fits into 2050 4 times, leaving a remainder of 138.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3727.4
Subtracting 1912 from 2050 leaves us with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
1380 divided by 478 is 2 with a remainder of 424.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3727.42
The remainder is 424 after subtracting 956 from 1380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
4240 divided by 478 is 8 with a remainder of 416.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3727.428
Subtract 3824 from 4240 to get 416.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 4160 by 478, we get 8 and a remainder of 336.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3727.4288
If we take 3824 away from 4160, we end up with 336.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3727.4288 and a remainder of 0.00336.
