We look at the division of 488362 by 78 
We want to divide 488362 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 78

On to step 2:
78 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 488 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 488 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 468 from 488.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 203 / 78

On to step 4:
When dividing 203 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 47.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we take 156 away from 203, we end up with 47.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 476 / 78

Step 5:
78 goes into 476 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 626.0
If we take 468 away from 476, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 82 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
82 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6261.0
Deduct 78 from 82 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
78 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6261.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
78 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6261.05
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 390 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
78 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6261.051
Deduct 78 from 100 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
78 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6261.0512
If we subtract 156 from 220, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 640 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6261.05128
If we subtract 624 from 640, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6261.051282
Subtract 156 from 160 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
78 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6261.051282
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 400 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6261.05128205
Subtracting 390 from 400 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6261.05128205 and a remainder of 1e-08.
