Let's divide 587183 by 78
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 587183.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
58 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 58, we end up with 58.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 587 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
587 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 546 from 587 leaves us with 41.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 411 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 411 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 75.0
Subtracting 390 from 411 leaves us with 21.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 218 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 goes into 218 2 times with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 752.0
If we subtract 156 from 218, we get 62.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 623 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 623 7 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7527.0
If we subtract 546 from 623, we get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
78 goes into 770 9 times with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7527.9
Subtracting 702 from 770 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.

Step 8:
The number 78 fits into 680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7527.98
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 624 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 560 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7527.987
Subtract 546 from 560 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 140 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7527.9871
Subtract 78 from 140 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 620 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 74.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7527.98717
If we take 546 away from 620, we end up with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 740 9 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7527.987179
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
380 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7527.9871794
Deduct 312 from 380 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 680 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7527.98717948
Subtracting 624 from 680 leaves us 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.

The final result is 7527.98717948 with a remainder of 5.6e-08.
