We divide 539046 by 78
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 539046.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 78

Step 2:
The number 78 fits into 53 0 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 0 from 53.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 539 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 539 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 71.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 468 from 539 to get 71.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 710 / 78

On to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 710 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 69.0
Subtracting 702 from 710 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 84 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 691.0
Subtract 78 from 84 to get 6.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 66 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 66 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 66.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6910.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 0 from 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 7:
78 goes into 660 8 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6910.8
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.

Advancing to step 8:
360 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6910.84
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.

Step 9:
The number 78 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6910.846
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
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: 6910.8461
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 420 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6910.84615
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.

Step 12:
78 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6910.846153
Deduct 234 from 300 and we're left 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 13:
The number 78 fits into 660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6910.8461538
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.

Advancing to step 14:
78 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6910.84615384
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 312 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6910.84615384, and the remainder is 4.8e-08.
