We're dividing 388659 by 78 
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 388659.

On to step 1:
78 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 78

Step 2:
When dividing 38 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 38 leaves us with 38.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 388 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
78 can be fit into 388 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 312 from 388 and we're left with 76.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 76, then carry on: 766 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 766 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we take 702 away from 766, we end up with 64.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 64, then repeat: 645 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 can be fit into 645 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 498.0
Subtracting 624 from 645 leaves us with 21.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 219 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 219 2 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4982.0
If we subtract 156 from 219, we get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 630 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4982.8
Deduct 624 from 630 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4982.8
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 600 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 54.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4982.807
Subtracting 546 from 600 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
78 can be fit into 540 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4982.8076
Subtract 468 from 540 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
720 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4982.80769
Subtract 702 from 720 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 180 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4982.807692
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 156 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
78 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4982.8076923
Subtracting 234 from 240 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 60 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4982.8076923
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4982.8076923 with a balance of 6e-08.
