We look at the division of 78727721 by 178 
Our goal is to divide 78727721 by 178.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 178 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 178

On to step 2:
178 can be fit into 78 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 78, we get 78.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 78, then repeat: 787 / 178

Advancing to step 3:
178 can be fit into 787 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 712 from 787.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 75 and continue: 752 / 178

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 752 by 178, we get 4 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
If we take 712 away from 752, we end up with 40.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 407 / 178

Step 5:
The number 178 fits into 407 2 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 442.0
If we take 356 away from 407, we end up with 51.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 517 / 178

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 517 by 178, we get 2 and a remainder of 161.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4422.0
If we take 356 away from 517, we end up with 161.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 161, then repeat: 1612 / 178

Moving on to step 7:
178 goes into 1612 9 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 44229.0
If we subtract 1602 from 1612, we get 10.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 101 / 178

Let's proceed to step 8:
178 goes into 101 0 times with a remainder of 101.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 442290.0
Deduct 0 from 101 and we're left with 101.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1010, and continue the process.

Step 9:
178 goes into 1010 5 times with a remainder of 120.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 442290.5
If we subtract 890 from 1010, we get 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
178 can be fit into 1200 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 132.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 442290.56
Deduct 1068 from 1200 and we're left with 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 1320 by 178, we get 7 and a remainder of 74.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 442290.567
Subtracting 1246 from 1320 leaves us with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 740 by 178, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 442290.5674
Subtract 712 from 740 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 280 by 178, we get 1 with a remainder of 102.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 442290.56741
The remainder is 102 after subtracting 178 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
178 can be fit into 1020 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 130.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 442290.567415
If we take 890 away from 1020, we end up with 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
1300 divided by 178 is 7 with a remainder of 54.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 442290.5674157
Subtracting 1246 from 1300 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
540 divided by 178 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 442290.56741573
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 534 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final result is 442290.56741573 with a remainder of 6e-09.
