71983 divided by 78 
We want to figure out the number of times 71983 can be divided by 78.

On to step 1:
78 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
78 can be fit into 71 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 71, we get 71.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 719 / 78

On to step 3:
If we divide 719 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 702 from 719 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
78 can be fit into 178 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 92.0
If we subtract 156 from 178, we get 22.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 223 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
78 can be fit into 223 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 922.0
If we take 156 away from 223, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Step 6:
If we divide 670 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 922.8
Subtracting 624 from 670 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
78 goes into 460 5 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 922.85
If we take 390 away from 460, we end up 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 8:
The number 78 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 922.858
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 760 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 58.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 922.8589
Subtracting 702 from 760 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 580 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 922.85897
Deduct 546 from 580 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
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: 922.858974
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 280 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 922.8589743
If we take 234 away from 280, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 460 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 922.85897435
Subtract 390 from 460 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 922.85897435, with a leftover of 7e-08.
