We look at the division of 58973 by 78 
We want to figure out the number of times 58973 can be divided by 78.

On to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
58 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 0 from 58.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 589 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 589 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 43.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 546 away from 589, we end up with 43.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 437 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
437 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 47.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 75.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 390 from 437.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 473 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 473 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 756.0
If we take 468 away from 473, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 756.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 756.06
Subtract 468 from 500 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 320 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 756.064
Subtracting 312 from 320 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
80 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 756.0641
If we take 78 away from 80, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 20 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 756.0641
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 756.064102
If we take 156 away from 200, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
440 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 756.0641025
Deduct 390 from 440 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
500 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 756.06410256
Subtract 468 from 500 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 756.06410256 and a remainder of 3.2e-08.
