We divide 1383978 by 311
We want to divide 1383978 by 311.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 311 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 13 / 311

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 13 by 311, we get 0 and a remainder of 13.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 13, we get 13.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 138 / 311

Step 3:
138 divided by 311 is 0 with a remainder of 138.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 138, we end up with 138.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 138 and continue: 1383 / 311

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 1383 by 311, we get 4 with a remainder of 139.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 1244 away from 1383, we end up with 139.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 139 and continue with: 1399 / 311

Moving on to step 5:
The number 311 fits into 1399 4 times, leaving a remainder of 155.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44.0
Deduct 1244 from 1399 and we're left with 155.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 155 and continue with: 1557 / 311

Advancing to step 6:
311 goes into 1557 5 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 445.0
If we take 1555 away from 1557, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 311

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 28 by 311, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4450.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 311, we get 0 with a remainder of 280.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4450.0
Subtract 0 from 280 to get 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
311 can be fit into 2800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4450.09
If we take 2799 away from 2800, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 10 by 311, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4450.09
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
311 can be fit into 100 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 100.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4450.09
If we take 0 away from 100, we end up with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4450.09 and a remainder of 0.001.
