Let's divide 979618 by 78
We want to divide 979618 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
78 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 78 from 97 and we're left with 19.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 199 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 199 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 43.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 156 from 199 and we're left with 43.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 436 / 78

On to step 4:
78 can be fit into 436 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 125.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 390 from 436.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 461 / 78

On to step 5:
When dividing 461 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 71.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1255.0
If we take 390 away from 461, we end up with 71.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 718 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
78 goes into 718 9 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12559.0
If we take 702 away from 718, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 78 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12559.2
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 8:
78 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12559.2
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12559.205
If we take 390 away from 400, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
78 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12559.2051
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 78 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 220 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12559.20512
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 156 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 78 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12559.205128
If we take 624 away from 640, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
160 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12559.2051282
Subtract 156 from 160 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
78 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12559.2051282
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12559.2051282, and the remainder is 4e-08.
