979736 divided by 78 
Our goal is to divide 979736 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 78 away from 97, we end up with 19.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 199 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 199 2 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 156 away from 199, we end up with 43.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 437 / 78

Step 4:
The number 78 fits into 437 5 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 125.0
If we subtract 390 from 437, we get 47.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 473 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 473 6 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1256.0
If we subtract 468 from 473, we get 5.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 56 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
78 can be fit into 56 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12560.0
Deduct 0 from 56 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12560.7
Subtract 546 from 560 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12560.71
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 78 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
78 can be fit into 620 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12560.717
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 740 9 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12560.7179
Subtracting 702 from 740 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 380 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12560.71794
Deduct 312 from 380 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12560.717948
If we subtract 624 from 680, we 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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 560 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12560.7179487
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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 78 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12560.71794871
Subtract 78 from 140 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12560.71794871 and a remainder of 6.2e-08.
