We look at the division of 474982 by 78 
Our goal is to divide 474982 by 78.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 47 leaves us with 47.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 474 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 474 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 468 from 474 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 69 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 69.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we subtract 0 from 69, we get 69.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 69 and continue with: 698 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 698 8 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 608.0
Deduct 624 from 698 and we're left with 74.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 742 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
78 goes into 742 9 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6089.0
If we take 702 away from 742, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 7:
78 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6089.5
Subtracting 390 from 400 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6089.51
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 78 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6089.512
If we take 156 away from 220, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 640 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6089.5128
Subtract 624 from 640 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
78 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6089.51282
If we subtract 156 from 160, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
78 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6089.51282
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
400 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6089.5128205
Subtract 390 from 400 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 78 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6089.51282051
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 78 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6089.51282051 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
