Let's divide 142383 by 78
Our goal is to divide 142383 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
78 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 142 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 142 1 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 78 from 142 to get 64.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 64, then carry on: 643 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
643 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 19.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 624 away from 643, we end up with 19.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 198 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 198 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 42.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 182.0
Deduct 156 from 198 and we're left with 42.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 423 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
78 can be fit into 423 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1825.0
Subtracting 390 from 423 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 330 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1825.4
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 312 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
78 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1825.42
Subtract 156 from 180 to get 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 9:
78 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1825.423
If we take 234 away from 240, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 60 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1825.423
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
If we divide 600 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1825.42307
If we subtract 546 from 600, 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.

Step 12:
The number 78 fits into 540 6 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1825.423076
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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 720 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1825.4230769
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.

On to step 14:
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: 1825.42307692
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.

The final outcome is 1825.42307692, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
