596141 ÷ 78 
We want to divide 596141 by 78.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 59 0 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 59, we get 59.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 596 / 78

Step 3:
78 goes into 596 7 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 546 from 596 and we're left with 50.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 501 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
78 can be fit into 501 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 76.0
Deduct 468 from 501 and we're left with 33.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 334 / 78

On to step 5:
78 goes into 334 4 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 764.0
If we subtract 312 from 334, we get 22.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 221 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
78 can be fit into 221 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7642.0
If we subtract 156 from 221, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 650 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 26.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7642.8
Deduct 624 from 650 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
78 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7642.83
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 234 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
78 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7642.833
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 234 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 7642.833, with a leftover of 0.0026.
