We're dividing 47500309 by 978 
We're looking to find how many times 978 goes into 47500309.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 978 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 978

On to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 475 / 978

Advancing to step 3:
978 goes into 475 0 times with a remainder of 475.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 475 to get 475.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 475, then repeat: 4750 / 978

Advancing to step 4:
4750 divided by 978 is 4 with a remainder of 838.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 3912 away from 4750, we end up with 838.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 838 and continue: 8380 / 978

Going ahead to step 5:
8380 divided by 978 is 8 with a remainder of 556.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtracting 7824 from 8380 leaves us with 556.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 556, then repeat: 5563 / 978

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 5563 by 978, we get 5 with a remainder of 673.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 485.0
If we take 4890 away from 5563, we end up with 673.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 673, then repeat: 6730 / 978

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 6730 by 978, we get 6 with a remainder of 862.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4856.0
Subtracting 5868 from 6730 leaves us with 862.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 862, then repeat: 8629 / 978

Step 8:
The number 978 fits into 8629 8 times, leaving a remainder of 805.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48568.0
Deduct 7824 from 8629 and we're left with 805.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8050, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
8050 divided by 978 is 8 with a remainder of 226.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48568.8
If we take 7824 away from 8050, we end up with 226.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 2260 by 978, we get 2 with a remainder of 304.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48568.82
Subtract 1956 from 2260 to get 304.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
978 can be fit into 3040 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 106.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 48568.823
Deduct 2934 from 3040 and we're left with 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
1060 divided by 978 is 1 with a remainder of 82.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48568.8231
Subtract 978 from 1060 to get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
820 divided by 978 is 0 with a remainder of 820.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48568.8231
If we take 0 away from 820, we end up with 820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8200, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
978 can be fit into 8200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 376.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48568.823108
Deduct 7824 from 8200 and we're left with 376.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
978 goes into 3760 3 times with a remainder of 826.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48568.8231083
The remainder is 826 after subtracting 2934 from 3760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
978 goes into 8260 8 times with a remainder of 436.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48568.82310838
Subtract 7824 from 8260 to get 436.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 48568.82310838 and a remainder of 4.36e-07.
