Let's divide 547887 by 78
We want to figure out the number of times 547887 can be divided by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
54 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 54, we end up with 54.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 547 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 547 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 546 from 547 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
18 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 188 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 702.0
If we take 156 away from 188, we end up with 32.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 327 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 327 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 15.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7024.0
If we take 312 away from 327, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 78 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7024.1
If we take 78 away from 150, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7024.19
Subtracting 702 from 720 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 180 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7024.192
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
78 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7024.1923
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
78 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7024.1923
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 600 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7024.192307
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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 540 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 72.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7024.1923076
If we subtract 468 from 540, we get 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 14:
78 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7024.19230769
Deduct 702 from 720 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7024.19230769 and a remainder of 1.8e-08.
