781 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 426 / 781

Moving on to step 3:
426 divided by 781 is 0 with a remainder of 426.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 426 after subtracting 0 from 426.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 426 and continue: 4267 / 781

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 4267 by 781, we get 5 and a remainder of 362.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 3905 from 4267 and we're left with 362.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 362, then repeat: 3629 / 781

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 3629 by 781, we get 4 and a remainder of 505.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 3124 away from 3629, we end up with 505.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 505 and continue: 5058 / 781

On to step 6:
5058 divided by 781 is 6 with a remainder of 372.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 546.0
Subtracting 4686 from 5058 leaves us with 372.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 372, then carry on: 3726 / 781

Step 7:
781 goes into 3726 4 times with a remainder of 602.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5464.0
If we take 3124 away from 3726, we end up with 602.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 602 and continue: 6026 / 781

Going ahead to step 8:
6026 divided by 781 is 7 with a remainder of 559.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54647.0
The remainder is 559 after subtracting 5467 from 6026.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5590, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
5590 divided by 781 is 7 with a remainder of 123.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54647.7
If we subtract 5467 from 5590, we get 123.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
781 can be fit into 1230 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 449.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 54647.71
The remainder is 449 after subtracting 781 from 1230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 4490 by 781, we get 5 and a remainder of 585.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54647.715
Subtracting 3905 from 4490 leaves us with 585.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5850, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
781 can be fit into 5850 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 383.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54647.7157
If we subtract 5467 from 5850, we get 383.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3830, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 3830 by 781, we get 4 with a remainder of 706.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54647.71574
Subtracting 3124 from 3830 leaves us with 706.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7060, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
781 can be fit into 7060 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54647.715749
Subtracting 7029 from 7060 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 781 fits into 310 0 times, leaving a remainder of 310.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54647.715749
If we take 0 away from 310, we end up with 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3100, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
3100 divided by 781 is 3 with a remainder of 757.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54647.71574903
If we take 2343 away from 3100, we end up with 757.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7570, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 54647.71574903 with a balance of 7.57e-07.
