Let's divide 486764 by 78
We want to figure out the number of times 486764 can be divided by 78.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
78 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 486 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 486 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 468 from 486 to get 18.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 187 / 78

Moving on to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 187 2 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62.0
Subtracting 156 from 187 leaves us with 31.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 316 / 78

Step 5:
78 goes into 316 4 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 624.0
If we subtract 312 from 316, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 78

On to step 6:
78 can be fit into 44 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6240.0
If we take 0 away from 44, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
78 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6240.5
If we subtract 390 from 440, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6240.56
If we take 468 away from 500, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6240.564
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 312 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
78 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6240.5641
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 78 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6240.5641
Subtracting 0 from 20 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
200 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6240.564102
Subtracting 156 from 200 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
78 goes into 440 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6240.5641025
Subtracting 390 from 440 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
78 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6240.56410256
Subtract 468 from 500 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6240.56410256, and the remainder is 3.2e-08.
