Let's divide 990992 by 78
We want to figure out the number of times 990992 can be divided by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
78 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 78

Step 2:
If we divide 99 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 78 from 99 to get 21.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 210 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
78 goes into 210 2 times with a remainder of 54.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 156 away from 210, we end up with 54.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 549 / 78

Step 4:
78 can be fit into 549 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 127.0
If we subtract 546 from 549, we get 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
78 can be fit into 39 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1270.0
Deduct 0 from 39 and we're left with 39.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 392 / 78

Step 6:
78 can be fit into 392 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12705.0
If we subtract 390 from 392, we 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.

Advancing to step 7:
20 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12705.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12705.02
If we take 156 away from 200, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
440 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12705.025
If we take 390 away from 440, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 500 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12705.0256
If we subtract 468 from 500, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
320 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12705.02564
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 80 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12705.025641
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 13:
If we divide 20 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12705.025641
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 78 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12705.02564102
If we take 156 away from 200, we end up 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.

Our division results in 12705.02564102 with a remaining 4.4e-08.
