We divide 509848 by 78
Our goal is to divide 509848 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
78 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 50 / 78

Step 2:
78 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 509 / 78

On to step 3:
78 can be fit into 509 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 468 from 509, we get 41.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 418 / 78

Step 4:
418 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 28.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 65.0
If we take 390 away from 418, we end up with 28.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 284 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 284 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 653.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 234 from 284.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 508 / 78

On to step 6:
78 goes into 508 6 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6536.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 468 from 508.
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 7:
When dividing 400 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6536.5
Subtracting 390 from 400 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
100 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6536.51
If we subtract 78 from 100, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 9:
78 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6536.512
Subtracting 156 from 220 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 10:
78 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6536.5128
Subtract 624 from 640 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6536.51282
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.

Moving on to step 12:
40 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6536.51282
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 400 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6536.5128205
If we subtract 390 from 400, we 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6536.51282051
If we take 78 away from 100, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6536.51282051 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
