We divide 478293 by 78
Our goal is to divide 478293 by 78.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
47 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 478 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
78 can be fit into 478 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 468 from 478 leaves us with 10.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 102 / 78

Step 4:
The number 78 fits into 102 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 78 from 102.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 249 / 78

Step 5:
78 goes into 249 3 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 613.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 234 from 249.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 153 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 153 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 75.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6131.0
Deduct 78 from 153 and we're left with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 750 9 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6131.9
If we subtract 702 from 750, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 480 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6131.96
If we subtract 468 from 480, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6131.961
Subtracting 78 from 120 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
420 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6131.9615
Deduct 390 from 420 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
78 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 66.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6131.96153
Subtracting 234 from 300 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 660 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6131.961538
Subtract 624 from 660 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 360 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6131.9615384
If we subtract 312 from 360, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
480 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6131.96153846
If we take 468 away from 480, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6131.96153846 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
