We're dividing 46456257 by 977 
Our goal is to divide 46456257 by 977.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 977, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 977

On to step 2:
46 divided by 977 is 0 with a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 0 from 46.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 464 / 977

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 464 by 977, we get 0 with a remainder of 464.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 464, we get 464.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 464, then repeat: 4645 / 977

Advancing to step 4:
The number 977 fits into 4645 4 times, leaving a remainder of 737.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 3908 away from 4645, we end up with 737.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 737, then repeat: 7376 / 977

Going ahead to step 5:
977 can be fit into 7376 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 537.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we subtract 6839 from 7376, we get 537.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 537 and repeat the process: 5372 / 977

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 977 fits into 5372 5 times, leaving a remainder of 487.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 475.0
The remainder is 487 after subtracting 4885 from 5372.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 487, then repeat: 4875 / 977

Let's proceed to step 7:
977 can be fit into 4875 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 967.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4754.0
Deduct 3908 from 4875 and we're left with 967.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 967, then repeat: 9677 / 977

On to step 8:
977 can be fit into 9677 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 884.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47549.0
If we take 8793 away from 9677, we end up with 884.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 8840 by 977, we get 9 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47549.9
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 8793 from 8840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
977 goes into 470 0 times with a remainder of 470.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47549.9
The remainder is 470 after subtracting 0 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 4700 by 977, we get 4 and a remainder of 792.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47549.904
Subtracting 3908 from 4700 leaves us with 792.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
977 can be fit into 7920 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 104.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47549.9048
Deduct 7816 from 7920 and we're left with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Step 13:
977 goes into 1040 1 times with a remainder of 63.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47549.90481
Deduct 977 from 1040 and we're left with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
630 divided by 977 is 0 with a remainder of 630.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47549.90481
Subtract 0 from 630 to get 630.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 6300 by 977, we get 6 with a remainder of 438.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47549.9048106
If we take 5862 away from 6300, we end up with 438.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 977 fits into 4380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 472.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47549.90481064
The remainder is 472 after subtracting 3908 from 4380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4720, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 47549.90481064 with a balance of 4.72e-07.
