Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 677 and repeat the process: 6777 / 903

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 903 fits into 6777 7 times, leaving a remainder of 456.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 47.0
Deduct 6321 from 6777 and we're left with 456.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 456, then repeat: 4564 / 903

Going ahead to step 6:
4564 divided by 903 is 5 with a remainder of 49.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 475.0
If we subtract 4515 from 4564, we get 49.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 497 / 903

Advancing to step 7:
The number 903 fits into 497 0 times, leaving a remainder of 497.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4750.0
Subtracting 0 from 497 leaves us with 497.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 497 and repeat the process: 4979 / 903

Going ahead to step 8:
903 can be fit into 4979 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 464.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47505.0
Subtract 4515 from 4979 to get 464.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 4640 by 903, we get 5 with a remainder of 125.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47505.5
Deduct 4515 from 4640 and we're left with 125.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
903 can be fit into 1250 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 347.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47505.51
Subtract 903 from 1250 to get 347.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3470, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 3470 by 903, we get 3 with a remainder of 761.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47505.513
Deduct 2709 from 3470 and we're left with 761.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7610, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
903 goes into 7610 8 times with a remainder of 386.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 47505.5138
The remainder is 386 after subtracting 7224 from 7610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 903 fits into 3860 4 times, leaving a remainder of 248.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47505.51384
If we take 3612 away from 3860, we end up with 248.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
903 goes into 2480 2 times with a remainder of 674.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47505.513842
Subtract 1806 from 2480 to get 674.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
903 can be fit into 6740 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 419.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47505.5138427
If we subtract 6321 from 6740, we get 419.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
When dividing 4190 by 903, we get 4 with a remainder of 578.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 47505.51384274
Deduct 3612 from 4190 and we're left with 578.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5780, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 47505.51384274 with a balance of 5.78e-07.
