We divide 78608 by 49
We want to figure out the number of times 78608 can be divided by 49.

Going ahead to step 1:
49 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 49

Moving on to step 2:
49 can be fit into 78 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 49 away from 78, we end up with 29.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 296 / 49

On to step 3:
The number 49 fits into 296 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 294 from 296 to get 2.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 49

Advancing to step 4:
49 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 160.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 208 / 49

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 208 by 49, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1604.0
Subtracting 196 from 208 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.

Moving on to step 6:
49 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1604.2
If we take 98 away from 120, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 49, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1604.24
If we subtract 196 from 220, we 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 49, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1604.244
If we take 196 away from 240, 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.

After the division, we end up with 1604.244 and a remainder of 0.0044.
