Let's divide 496266 by 78
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 496266.

Step 1:
78 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 496 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
78 can be fit into 496 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 468 away from 496, we end up with 28.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 282 / 78

On to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 282 3 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 63.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 234 from 282.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 486 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
486 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 636.0
Deduct 468 from 486 and we're left with 18.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 186 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 186 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6362.0
Deduct 156 from 186 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
78 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6362.3
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 660 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6362.38
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
360 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6362.384
Subtract 312 from 360 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
78 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6362.3846
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6362.38461
Subtract 78 from 120 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
78 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6362.384615
Deduct 390 from 420 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 78 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6362.3846153
Subtract 234 from 300 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
660 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6362.38461538
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 624 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6362.38461538 with a remaining 3.6e-08.
