Let's divide 769972 by 78
We want to divide 769972 by 78.

On to step 1:
78 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 76 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 76 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 76, we end up with 76.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 76 and continue: 769 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 769 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 702 from 769 leaves us with 67.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 67 and continue: 679 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
78 goes into 679 8 times with a remainder of 55.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 98.0
If we subtract 624 from 679, we get 55.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 557 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
557 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 987.0
If we take 546 away from 557, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 112 / 78

Step 6:
If we divide 112 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9871.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 78 from 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 340 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 9871.4
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 312 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
280 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9871.43
Subtracting 234 from 280 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 460 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9871.435
Subtracting 390 from 460 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9871.4358
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 624 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 760 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 58.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9871.43589
If we take 702 away from 760, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 580 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9871.435897
Subtract 546 from 580 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
78 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9871.4358974
If we subtract 312 from 340, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 78 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9871.43589743
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 234 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9871.43589743, and the remainder is 4.6e-08.
