117177 divided by 78 
We want to divide 117177 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 117 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 117 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 78 from 117 leaves us with 39.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 391 / 78

Step 4:
When dividing 391 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 390 from 391, we get 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 78

Step 5:
When dividing 17 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 150.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 177 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 177 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 21.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1502.0
If we subtract 156 from 177, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 210 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 54.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1502.2
If we subtract 156 from 210, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 540 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1502.26
Deduct 468 from 540 and we're left with 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 9:
78 goes into 720 9 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1502.269
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 702 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 10:
78 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1502.2692
Subtracting 156 from 180 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 240 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1502.26923
Subtract 234 from 240 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
78 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1502.26923
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.

Advancing to step 13:
78 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1502.2692307
Deduct 546 from 600 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 540 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 72.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1502.26923076
If we take 468 away from 540, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1502.26923076 with a remaining 7.2e-08.
