We divide 83882971 by 978
We want to figure out the number of times 83882971 can be divided by 978.

On to step 1:
The number 978 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 83 / 978

On to step 2:
978 can be fit into 83 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 83.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 83 and we're left with 83.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 83 and continue with: 838 / 978

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 978 fits into 838 0 times, leaving a remainder of 838.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 838 and we're left with 838.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 838, then carry on: 8388 / 978

Going ahead to step 4:
8388 divided by 978 is 8 with a remainder of 564.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 7824 from 8388 leaves us with 564.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 564 and repeat the process: 5642 / 978

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 5642 by 978, we get 5 and a remainder of 752.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtract 4890 from 5642 to get 752.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 752, then repeat: 7529 / 978

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 7529 by 978, we get 7 and a remainder of 683.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 857.0
If we subtract 6846 from 7529, we get 683.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 683, then carry on: 6837 / 978

Advancing to step 7:
6837 divided by 978 is 6 with a remainder of 969.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8576.0
Subtracting 5868 from 6837 leaves us with 969.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 969 and continue with: 9691 / 978

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 978 fits into 9691 9 times, leaving a remainder of 889.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85769.0
Deduct 8802 from 9691 and we're left with 889.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8890, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
8890 divided by 978 is 9 with a remainder of 88.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85769.9
Deduct 8802 from 8890 and we're left with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
978 can be fit into 880 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 880.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85769.9
Subtracting 0 from 880 leaves us with 880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 8800 by 978, we get 8 with a remainder of 976.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85769.908
Subtract 7824 from 8800 to get 976.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 9760 by 978, we get 9 and a remainder of 958.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85769.9089
Subtract 8802 from 9760 to get 958.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9580, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 978 fits into 9580 9 times, leaving a remainder of 778.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 85769.90899
If we subtract 8802 from 9580, we get 778.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7780, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 85769.90899, with a leftover of 0.000778.
