Let's divide 49261 by 78
We want to divide 49261 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
78 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
78 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 492 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 492 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 468 from 492 and we're left with 24.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 246 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 246 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we take 234 away from 246, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 121 / 78

On to step 5:
121 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 43.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 631.0
If we subtract 78 from 121, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 430 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 631.5
Deduct 390 from 430 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
78 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 631.55
Subtract 390 from 400 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 631.55 with a remaining 0.01.
