438183 ÷ 78 
We want to divide 438183 by 78.

On to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 43 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 43 0 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 43 leaves us with 43.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 438 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
78 can be fit into 438 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 390 away from 438, we end up with 48.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 481 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
78 can be fit into 481 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we subtract 468 from 481, we get 13.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 138 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
78 can be fit into 138 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 561.0
Deduct 78 from 138 and we're left with 60.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 603 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
603 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5617.0
If we take 546 away from 603, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Step 7:
78 can be fit into 570 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5617.7
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 546 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
78 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5617.73
Subtracting 234 from 240 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
60 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5617.73
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
78 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 54.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5617.7307
If we subtract 546 from 600, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 540 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 72.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5617.73076
If we subtract 468 from 540, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 720 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5617.730769
Subtracting 702 from 720 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
180 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5617.7307692
If we take 156 away from 180, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
78 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5617.73076923
If we subtract 234 from 240, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5617.73076923 and a remainder of 6e-09.
