We divide 3178244 by 497
We're looking to find how many times 497 goes into 3178244.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 497, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 497

On to step 2:
497 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 317 / 497

Let's proceed to step 3:
497 goes into 317 0 times with a remainder of 317.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 317, we end up with 317.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 317 and continue: 3178 / 497

Step 4:
When dividing 3178 by 497, we get 6 with a remainder of 196.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 196 after subtracting 2982 from 3178.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 196 and repeat the process: 1962 / 497

On to step 5:
When dividing 1962 by 497, we get 3 with a remainder of 471.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we subtract 1491 from 1962, we get 471.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 471 and continue with: 4714 / 497

Advancing to step 6:
4714 divided by 497 is 9 with a remainder of 241.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 639.0
The remainder is 241 after subtracting 4473 from 4714.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 241, then carry on: 2414 / 497

On to step 7:
497 can be fit into 2414 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 426.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6394.0
If we subtract 1988 from 2414, we get 426.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 4260 by 497, we get 8 with a remainder of 284.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6394.8
Subtracting 3976 from 4260 leaves us with 284.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
497 can be fit into 2840 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 355.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6394.85
If we subtract 2485 from 2840, we get 355.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
3550 divided by 497 is 7 with a remainder of 71.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6394.857
If we subtract 3479 from 3550, we get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 497 fits into 710 1 times, leaving a remainder of 213.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6394.8571
Subtracting 497 from 710 leaves us with 213.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2130, and continue the process.

Step 12:
2130 divided by 497 is 4 with a remainder of 142.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6394.85714
If we subtract 1988 from 2130, we get 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 1420 by 497, we get 2 and a remainder of 426.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6394.857142
The remainder is 426 after subtracting 994 from 1420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 497 fits into 4260 8 times, leaving a remainder of 284.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6394.8571428
The remainder is 284 after subtracting 3976 from 4260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 497 fits into 2840 5 times, leaving a remainder of 355.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6394.85714285
Subtract 2485 from 2840 to get 355.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3550, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6394.85714285 and a remainder of 3.55e-07.
