We're dividing 78870787 by 740 
We want to divide 78870787 by 740.

On to step 1:
The number 740 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 740

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 78 by 740, we get 0 and a remainder of 78.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 78, we end up with 78.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 78, then repeat: 788 / 740

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 788 by 740, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 740 from 788, we get 48.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 487 / 740

On to step 4:
When dividing 487 by 740, we get 0 with a remainder of 487.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 487 after subtracting 0 from 487.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 487, then repeat: 4870 / 740

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 740 fits into 4870 6 times, leaving a remainder of 430.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 106.0
Subtracting 4440 from 4870 leaves us with 430.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 430, then repeat: 4307 / 740

Step 6:
The number 740 fits into 4307 5 times, leaving a remainder of 607.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1065.0
Subtracting 3700 from 4307 leaves us with 607.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 607, then carry on: 6078 / 740

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 6078 by 740, we get 8 and a remainder of 158.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10658.0
If we subtract 5920 from 6078, we get 158.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 158, then carry on: 1587 / 740

Moving on to step 8:
The number 740 fits into 1587 2 times, leaving a remainder of 107.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 106582.0
The remainder is 107 after subtracting 1480 from 1587.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1070, and continue the process.

Step 9:
1070 divided by 740 is 1 with a remainder of 330.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 106582.1
Subtracting 740 from 1070 leaves us with 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 740 fits into 3300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 340.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 106582.14
If we take 2960 away from 3300, we end up with 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
3400 divided by 740 is 4 with a remainder of 440.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 106582.144
If we take 2960 away from 3400, we end up with 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 106582.144, and the remainder is 0.044.
