Let's divide 550688 by 78
Our goal is to divide 550688 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
78 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 55, we get 55.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 550 / 78

On to step 3:
78 can be fit into 550 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 546 away from 550, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 78

On to step 4:
46 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtract 0 from 46 to get 46.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 468 / 78

Step 5:
When dividing 468 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 706.0
Deduct 468 from 468 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
78 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7060.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 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 7:
If we divide 80 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7060.1
If we subtract 78 from 80, 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.

On to step 8:
78 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7060.1
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
200 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7060.102
Deduct 156 from 200 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
440 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7060.1025
If we subtract 390 from 440, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
78 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7060.10256
If we take 468 away from 500, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
78 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7060.102564
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
78 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7060.1025641
If we subtract 78 from 80, 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 14:
20 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7060.1025641
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.

Our division results in 7060.1025641 with a remaining 2e-08.
