We divide 78478981 by 740
Our goal is to divide 78478981 by 740.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 740 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 740

Going ahead to step 2:
740 can be fit into 78 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 78, we end up with 78.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 78, then repeat: 784 / 740

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 784 by 740, we get 1 with a remainder of 44.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 740 from 784 and we're left with 44.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 447 / 740

Let's proceed to step 4:
740 goes into 447 0 times with a remainder of 447.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 447 after subtracting 0 from 447.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 447 and continue: 4478 / 740

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 4478 by 740, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 106.0
If we subtract 4440 from 4478, we get 38.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 389 / 740

Step 6:
The number 740 fits into 389 0 times, leaving a remainder of 389.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1060.0
Subtract 0 from 389 to get 389.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 389, then repeat: 3898 / 740

Advancing to step 7:
3898 divided by 740 is 5 with a remainder of 198.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10605.0
Subtract 3700 from 3898 to get 198.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 198 and continue with: 1981 / 740

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 1981 by 740, we get 2 with a remainder of 501.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 106052.0
If we subtract 1480 from 1981, we get 501.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5010, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 740 fits into 5010 6 times, leaving a remainder of 570.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 106052.6
If we take 4440 away from 5010, we end up with 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 740 fits into 5700 7 times, leaving a remainder of 520.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 106052.67
Subtract 5180 from 5700 to get 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 5200 by 740, we get 7 and a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 106052.677
Subtracting 5180 from 5200 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 106052.677 and a remainder of 0.002.
