We divide 53453966 by 978
We want to divide 53453966 by 978.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 978

Moving on to step 2:
978 can be fit into 53 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 53 to get 53.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 534 / 978

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 978 fits into 534 0 times, leaving a remainder of 534.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 534 after subtracting 0 from 534.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 534, then repeat: 5345 / 978

Step 4:
The number 978 fits into 5345 5 times, leaving a remainder of 455.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 4890 from 5345 leaves us with 455.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 455, then carry on: 4553 / 978

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 4553 by 978, we get 4 and a remainder of 641.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtracting 3912 from 4553 leaves us with 641.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 641 and continue: 6419 / 978

On to step 6:
978 can be fit into 6419 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 551.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 546.0
Deduct 5868 from 6419 and we're left with 551.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 551 and repeat the process: 5516 / 978

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 5516 by 978, we get 5 with a remainder of 626.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5465.0
Subtracting 4890 from 5516 leaves us with 626.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 626 and continue with: 6266 / 978

Moving on to step 8:
The number 978 fits into 6266 6 times, leaving a remainder of 398.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54656.0
Subtracting 5868 from 6266 leaves us with 398.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3980, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 978 fits into 3980 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54656.4
If we take 3912 away from 3980, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 680 by 978, we get 0 with a remainder of 680.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54656.4
Subtracting 0 from 680 leaves us with 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 978 fits into 6800 6 times, leaving a remainder of 932.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54656.406
Subtracting 5868 from 6800 leaves us with 932.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 978 fits into 9320 9 times, leaving a remainder of 518.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 54656.4069
Subtracting 8802 from 9320 leaves us with 518.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 5180 by 978, we get 5 and a remainder of 290.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54656.40695
Deduct 4890 from 5180 and we're left with 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2900, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
978 goes into 2900 2 times with a remainder of 944.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 54656.406952
Subtract 1956 from 2900 to get 944.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9440, and continue the process.

Step 15:
978 can be fit into 9440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 638.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54656.4069529
Subtracting 8802 from 9440 leaves us with 638.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6380, and continue the process.

Step 16:
When dividing 6380 by 978, we get 6 with a remainder of 512.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54656.40695296
Subtracting 5868 from 6380 leaves us with 512.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5120, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 54656.40695296, with a leftover of 5.12e-07.
