489017 divided by 78 
We want to figure out the number of times 489017 can be divided by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 78

Step 2:
78 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 489 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
78 goes into 489 6 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 468 from 489 leaves us with 21.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 210 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
78 can be fit into 210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 62.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 156 from 210.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 541 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 can be fit into 541 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 626.0
Deduct 468 from 541 and we're left with 73.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 737 / 78

On to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 737 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6269.0
Subtract 702 from 737 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 350 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 38.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6269.4
Deduct 312 from 350 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
380 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6269.44
If we subtract 312 from 380, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6269.44, and the remainder is 0.068.
