Let's divide 499107 by 78
We want to divide 499107 by 78.

On to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 499 / 78

Step 3:
78 goes into 499 6 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 468 from 499 to get 31.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 311 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
311 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 77.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we take 234 away from 311, we end up with 77.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 77 and continue: 770 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 goes into 770 9 times with a remainder of 68.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 639.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 702 from 770.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 687 / 78

Step 6:
If we divide 687 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 63.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6398.0
Subtracting 624 from 687 leaves us with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
78 goes into 630 8 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6398.8
If we subtract 624 from 630, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6398.8
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
78 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6398.807
Subtracting 546 from 600 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 540 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6398.8076
Subtracting 468 from 540 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 720 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6398.80769
If we subtract 702 from 720, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 12:
78 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6398.807692
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 156 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 78 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6398.8076923
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 234 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
60 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6398.8076923
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The final result is 6398.8076923 with a remainder of 6e-08.
