Let's divide 491846 by 78
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 491846.

Moving on to step 1:
78 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 491 / 78

Step 3:
If we divide 491 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 23.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 468 from 491 leaves us with 23.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 238 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 238 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtract 234 from 238 to get 4.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 44 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 44.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 630.0
If we subtract 0 from 44, we get 44.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 446 / 78

Step 6:
446 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 56.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6305.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 390 from 446.
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 7:
78 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6305.7
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.

Step 8:
78 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 62.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6305.71
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 620 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 74.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6305.717
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:
740 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6305.7179
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.

Moving on to step 11:
78 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6305.71794
Subtracting 312 from 380 leaves us with 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.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6305.717948
Deduct 624 from 680 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
78 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6305.7179487
If we take 546 away from 560, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 14:
78 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6305.71794871
If we subtract 78 from 140, we 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.

The final result is 6305.71794871 with a remainder of 6.2e-08.
