We're dividing 488892 by 78 
We want to divide 488892 by 78.

On to step 1:
78 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
78 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 488 / 78

Step 3:
78 can be fit into 488 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 468 away from 488, we end up with 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
208 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we take 156 away from 208, we end up with 52.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 529 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 529 6 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 626.0
If we take 468 away from 529, we end up with 61.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 612 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
78 goes into 612 7 times with a remainder of 66.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6267.0
If we subtract 546 from 612, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6267.8
If we subtract 624 from 660, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
360 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6267.84
Deduct 312 from 360 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 480 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6267.846
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 468 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
120 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6267.8461
Subtracting 78 from 120 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6267.84615
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 390 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 300 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6267.846153
If we take 234 away from 300, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 660 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6267.8461538
Subtract 624 from 660 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
78 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6267.84615384
Subtract 312 from 360 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6267.84615384 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
