Let's divide 18723887 by 78
We want to divide 18723887 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 78

Step 2:
The number 78 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 187 / 78

On to step 3:
When dividing 187 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 31.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 156 from 187 to get 31.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 312 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 312 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 312 away from 312, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 3 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 240.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 78

Step 6:
If we divide 38 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2400.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 388 / 78

Step 7:
The number 78 fits into 388 4 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24004.0
If we take 312 away from 388, we end up with 76.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 76 and continue with: 767 / 78

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 767 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 65.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 240049.0
If we subtract 702 from 767, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
78 can be fit into 650 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 240049.8
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 624 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
260 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 240049.83
Subtracting 234 from 260 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 260 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 240049.833
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 234 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The final result is 240049.833 with a remainder of 0.0026.
