We look at the division of 581504 by 78 
We want to divide 581504 by 78.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 78

Step 2:
When dividing 58 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 58.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 0 from 58.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 581 / 78

On to step 3:
581 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 546 from 581.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 355 / 78

Step 4:
The number 78 fits into 355 4 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74.0
Subtract 312 from 355 to get 43.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 430 / 78

Step 5:
78 can be fit into 430 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 745.0
If we take 390 away from 430, we end up with 40.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 404 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 404 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7455.0
Subtract 390 from 404 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.

Advancing to step 7:
140 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7455.1
If we take 78 away from 140, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 620 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 74.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7455.17
If we subtract 546 from 620, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 740 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7455.179
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 380 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7455.1794
If we subtract 312 from 380, we 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.

Moving on to step 11:
680 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7455.17948
If we subtract 624 from 680, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
560 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7455.179487
If we subtract 546 from 560, we 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.

Advancing to step 13:
78 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7455.1794871
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 78 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
78 goes into 620 7 times with a remainder of 74.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7455.17948717
If we subtract 546 from 620, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7455.17948717, and the remainder is 7.4e-08.
