We're dividing 499312 by 78 
We want to divide 499312 by 78.

On to step 1:
78 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 499 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 499 6 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 468 from 499, we get 31.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 313 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 313 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 64.0
If we take 312 away from 313, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 78

Step 5:
78 goes into 11 0 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 640.0
If we take 0 away from 11, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 112 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
112 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6401.0
Subtracting 78 from 112 leaves us 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 7:
78 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6401.4
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 312 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 280 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 46.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6401.43
Deduct 234 from 280 and we're left with 46.
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 9:
78 goes into 460 5 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6401.435
Subtracting 390 from 460 leaves us with 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 10:
If we divide 700 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6401.4358
Deduct 624 from 700 and we're left 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 11:
78 can be fit into 760 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6401.43589
If we subtract 702 from 760, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 580 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6401.435897
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 13:
78 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6401.4358974
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 312 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
78 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6401.43589743
If we subtract 234 from 280, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6401.43589743 with a remaining 4.6e-08.
