Let's divide 578938 by 78
Our goal is to divide 578938 by 78.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 78

Step 2:
78 can be fit into 57 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 0 from 57.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 57 and continue with: 578 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 578 7 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 546 from 578 leaves us with 32.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 329 / 78

On to step 4:
329 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 17.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we subtract 312 from 329, we get 17.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 173 / 78

On to step 5:
If we divide 173 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 17.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 742.0
If we take 156 away from 173, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 178 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
78 goes into 178 2 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7422.0
If we subtract 156 from 178, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
220 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7422.2
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 156 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7422.28
Deduct 624 from 640 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
78 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7422.282
If we subtract 156 from 160, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 40 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7422.282
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7422.28205
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 390 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
100 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7422.282051
If we take 78 away from 100, 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 13:
78 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7422.2820512
If we take 156 away from 220, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 640 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7422.28205128
Subtract 624 from 640 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7422.28205128 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
