We divide 878731 by 78
We want to divide 878731 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
78 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 78

On to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 78 from 87 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
98 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 78 from 98 leaves us with 20.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 207 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 207 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we subtract 156 from 207, we get 51.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 513 / 78

On to step 5:
When dividing 513 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 45.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1126.0
Subtract 468 from 513 to get 45.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 451 / 78

On to step 6:
78 goes into 451 5 times with a remainder of 61.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11265.0
If we subtract 390 from 451, we get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
610 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 64.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11265.7
If we subtract 546 from 610, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
640 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11265.78
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.

On to step 9:
160 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11265.782
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11265.782
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 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 11:
When dividing 400 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11265.78205
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
100 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11265.782051
Subtract 78 from 100 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
220 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11265.7820512
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
78 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11265.78205128
Subtracting 624 from 640 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11265.78205128 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
