Let's divide 118616 by 78
Our goal is to divide 118616 by 78.

On to step 1:
78 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 118 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 118 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 78 from 118 to get 40.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 406 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
78 goes into 406 5 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 390 from 406.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 161 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
161 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 152.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 156 from 161.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 56 / 78

Step 6:
When dividing 56 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 56.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1520.0
If we take 0 away from 56, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
78 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1520.7
Subtract 546 from 560 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1520.71
Subtract 78 from 140 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 620 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 74.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1520.717
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 546 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Step 10:
78 goes into 740 9 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1520.7179
If we subtract 702 from 740, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 11:
78 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1520.71794
Subtract 312 from 380 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
78 can be fit into 680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1520.717948
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 624 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 560 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1520.7179487
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 546 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
78 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1520.71794871
Subtracting 78 from 140 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1520.71794871, and the remainder is 6.2e-08.
