We're dividing 143469 by 78 
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 143469.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 78

On to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 143 / 78

On to step 3:
If we divide 143 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 65.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 78 from 143 leaves us with 65.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 654 / 78

Step 4:
The number 78 fits into 654 8 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 624 from 654 leaves us with 30.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 306 / 78

Step 5:
When dividing 306 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 72.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 183.0
Subtract 234 from 306 to get 72.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 729 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 729 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1839.0
If we subtract 702 from 729, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 7:
78 goes into 270 3 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1839.3
Subtracting 234 from 270 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 8:
78 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1839.34
If we subtract 312 from 360, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 480 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1839.346
Subtract 468 from 480 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
120 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1839.3461
Deduct 78 from 120 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 420 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1839.34615
Subtracting 390 from 420 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
78 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1839.346153
If we take 234 away from 300, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 13:
78 goes into 660 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1839.3461538
If we take 624 away from 660, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
78 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1839.34615384
Subtracting 312 from 360 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1839.34615384 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
