We divide 389702 by 78
Our goal is to divide 389702 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 38 0 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 389 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
78 goes into 389 4 times with a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 312 from 389 to get 77.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 77 and continue: 777 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
78 goes into 777 9 times with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 702 from 777 and we're left with 75.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 75, then carry on: 750 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
78 can be fit into 750 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 499.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 702 from 750.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 482 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
78 goes into 482 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4996.0
Subtract 468 from 482 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.

Step 7:
78 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 62.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4996.1
If we take 78 away from 140, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 620 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 74.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4996.17
If we subtract 546 from 620, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
78 can be fit into 740 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4996.179
Deduct 702 from 740 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 380 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4996.1794
If we take 312 away from 380, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
680 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4996.17948
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 624 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
78 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4996.179487
Deduct 546 from 560 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
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: 4996.1794871
Subtracting 78 from 140 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 620 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 74.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4996.17948717
Subtract 546 from 620 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4996.17948717 with a remaining 7.4e-08.
