We're dividing 617465 by 78 
We want to figure out the number of times 617465 can be divided by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
6 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 78

On to step 2:
When dividing 61 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 61 leaves us with 61.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 617 / 78

Step 3:
When dividing 617 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 546 from 617.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 714 / 78

Step 4:
When dividing 714 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 79.0
Subtract 702 from 714 to get 12.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 126 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 goes into 126 1 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 791.0
If we take 78 away from 126, we end up with 48.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 485 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
78 can be fit into 485 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7916.0
Subtract 468 from 485 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 170 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7916.2
Subtracting 156 from 170 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 140 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 62.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7916.21
If we take 78 away from 140, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 620 7 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7916.217
If we take 546 away from 620, we end up with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 740 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7916.2179
If we subtract 702 from 740, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
78 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7916.21794
Subtracting 312 from 380 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 12:
78 goes into 680 8 times with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7916.217948
Subtract 624 from 680 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 78 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7916.2179487
If we take 546 away from 560, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 78 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7916.21794871
Subtracting 78 from 140 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 7916.21794871, with a leftover of 6.2e-08.
