We're dividing 51726841 by 978 
Our goal is to divide 51726841 by 978.

Going ahead to step 1:
978 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 978

Step 2:
978 goes into 51 0 times with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 51 and we're left with 51.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 517 / 978

On to step 3:
517 divided by 978 is 0 with a remainder of 517.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 517, we get 517.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 517, then carry on: 5172 / 978

On to step 4:
978 goes into 5172 5 times with a remainder of 282.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 4890 from 5172, we get 282.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 282 and continue with: 2826 / 978

Step 5:
978 can be fit into 2826 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 870.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we subtract 1956 from 2826, we get 870.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 870 and continue: 8708 / 978

Moving on to step 6:
978 goes into 8708 8 times with a remainder of 884.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 528.0
If we take 7824 away from 8708, we end up with 884.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 884 and continue with: 8844 / 978

Step 7:
When dividing 8844 by 978, we get 9 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5289.0
Subtract 8802 from 8844 to get 42.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 421 / 978

Moving on to step 8:
421 divided by 978 is 0 with a remainder of 421.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52890.0
If we take 0 away from 421, we end up with 421.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4210, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 4210 by 978, we get 4 and a remainder of 298.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 52890.4
If we take 3912 away from 4210, we end up with 298.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2980, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 978 fits into 2980 3 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52890.43
If we take 2934 away from 2980, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 460 by 978, we get 0 with a remainder of 460.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52890.43
If we take 0 away from 460, we end up with 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 978 fits into 4600 4 times, leaving a remainder of 688.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 52890.4304
Subtract 3912 from 4600 to get 688.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 978 fits into 6880 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 52890.43047
If we take 6846 away from 6880, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 14:
978 can be fit into 340 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 340.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 52890.43047
If we take 0 away from 340, we end up with 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 3400 by 978, we get 3 and a remainder of 466.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52890.4304703
If we take 2934 away from 3400, we end up with 466.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 4660 by 978, we get 4 with a remainder of 748.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 52890.43047034
The remainder is 748 after subtracting 3912 from 4660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 52890.43047034, and the remainder is 7.48e-07.
