We divide 601989 by 78
We want to divide 601989 by 78.

Step 1:
6 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 60 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
78 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 60 and repeat the process: 601 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 601 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 55.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 546 away from 601, we end up with 55.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 559 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 559 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 77.0
If we subtract 546 from 559, we get 13.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 138 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
78 goes into 138 1 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 771.0
Deduct 78 from 138 and we're left with 60.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 609 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
78 can be fit into 609 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7717.0
Subtract 546 from 609 to get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
630 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7717.8
Subtracting 624 from 630 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
78 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7717.8
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7717.807
If we subtract 546 from 600, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 540 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 72.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7717.8076
If we subtract 468 from 540, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 720 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7717.80769
If we subtract 702 from 720, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 180 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7717.807692
If we subtract 156 from 180, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
240 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7717.8076923
Subtract 234 from 240 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 78 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7717.8076923
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7717.8076923, and the remainder is 6e-08.
