479971 ÷ 78 
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 479971.

On to step 1:
78 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 78

On to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 479 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
78 can be fit into 479 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 468 from 479 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 119 / 78

Step 4:
The number 78 fits into 119 1 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtracting 78 from 119 leaves us with 41.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 417 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 417 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 615.0
Subtracting 390 from 417 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 271 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 271 3 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6153.0
Subtract 234 from 271 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
78 goes into 370 4 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6153.4
If we take 312 away from 370, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 8:
78 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6153.47
Deduct 546 from 580 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
78 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6153.474
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 312 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 280 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6153.4743
If we take 234 away from 280, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
78 goes into 460 5 times with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6153.47435
Subtracting 390 from 460 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
78 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6153.474358
Subtract 624 from 700 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 760 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6153.4743589
Subtracting 702 from 760 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 78 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6153.47435897
Subtracting 546 from 580 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6153.47435897, with a leftover of 3.4e-08.
