897972 ÷ 78 
We want to figure out the number of times 897972 can be divided by 78.

Advancing to step 1:
78 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 89 / 78

On to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 89 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 78 from 89, we get 11.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 117 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
117 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 78 from 117, we get 39.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 399 / 78

Step 4:
78 goes into 399 5 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 115.0
Subtracting 390 from 399 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
78 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1151.0
If we take 78 away from 97, we end up with 19.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 192 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 192 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11512.0
Subtracting 156 from 192 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11512.4
Subtracting 312 from 360 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11512.46
Subtracting 468 from 480 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
78 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11512.461
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.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11512.4615
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 390 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
78 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11512.46153
If we take 234 away from 300, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
660 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11512.461538
If we subtract 624 from 660, we 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:
78 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11512.4615384
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.

Step 14:
The number 78 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11512.46153846
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 468 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final result is 11512.46153846 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
