We divide 471889 by 78
We want to divide 471889 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
78 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
47 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 471 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
78 goes into 471 6 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 468 from 471 to get 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 78

Moving on to step 4:
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: 60.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 388 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 goes into 388 4 times with a remainder of 76.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 604.0
If we subtract 312 from 388, we get 76.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 76, then repeat: 769 / 78

On to step 6:
78 can be fit into 769 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6049.0
Subtracting 702 from 769 leaves us with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 670 8 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6049.8
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 624 from 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 78 fits into 460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6049.85
Deduct 390 from 460 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
700 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6049.858
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 624 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
760 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6049.8589
If we subtract 702 from 760, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 11:
78 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6049.85897
If we take 546 away from 580, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 12:
78 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6049.858974
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 312 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 280 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6049.8589743
If we take 234 away from 280, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 460 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6049.85897435
Deduct 390 from 460 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6049.85897435, with a leftover of 7e-08.
