Let's divide 487040 by 78
We want to divide 487040 by 78.

Moving on to step 1:
78 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
48 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 487 / 78

On to step 3:
When dividing 487 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 19.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 468 away from 487, we end up with 19.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 190 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we take 156 away from 190, we end up with 34.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 344 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
78 can be fit into 344 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 624.0
Deduct 312 from 344 and we're left with 32.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 320 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
78 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6244.0
Subtract 312 from 320 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6244.1
If we take 78 away from 80, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
78 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6244.1
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6244.102
Deduct 156 from 200 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
440 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6244.1025
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 390 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6244.10256
Deduct 468 from 500 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
78 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6244.102564
Subtracting 312 from 320 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 80 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6244.1025641
Subtract 78 from 80 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
78 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6244.1025641
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6244.1025641 with a balance of 2e-08.
