We divide 617713 by 78
We want to divide 617713 by 78.

On to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 61 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 61 0 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 61, we end up with 61.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 617 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 617 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 71.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 546 from 617 leaves us with 71.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 717 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 717 9 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 79.0
If we take 702 away from 717, we end up with 15.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 151 / 78

Step 5:
151 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 73.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 791.0
Subtract 78 from 151 to get 73.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 733 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 733 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 31.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7919.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 702 from 733.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 78 fits into 310 3 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7919.3
Subtracting 234 from 310 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
78 goes into 760 9 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7919.39
Deduct 702 from 760 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
78 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7919.397
If we take 546 away from 580, we end up 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 10:
78 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7919.3974
If we take 312 away from 340, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 280 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7919.39743
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 234 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
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: 7919.397435
Subtract 390 from 460 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 700 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 76.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7919.3974358
If we subtract 624 from 700, we 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.

Advancing to step 14:
78 goes into 760 9 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7919.39743589
Deduct 702 from 760 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 7919.39743589, with a leftover of 5.8e-08.
