Let's divide 697423 by 78
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 697423.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 78

Step 2:
78 can be fit into 69 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 0 from 69.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 697 / 78

Step 3:
The number 78 fits into 697 8 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 624 from 697, we get 73.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 734 / 78

Step 4:
78 can be fit into 734 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 89.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 702 from 734.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 322 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 322 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 894.0
Subtract 312 from 322 to get 10.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 103 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
78 goes into 103 1 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8941.0
Subtract 78 from 103 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 250 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8941.3
If we take 234 away from 250, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
160 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8941.32
Deduct 156 from 160 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
78 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8941.32
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8941.3205
If we subtract 390 from 400, we 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.

Step 11:
100 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8941.32051
Subtract 78 from 100 to get 22.
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 12:
220 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8941.320512
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 156 from 220.
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 13:
The number 78 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8941.3205128
Subtracting 624 from 640 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8941.32051282
Deduct 156 from 160 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8941.32051282 with a remaining 4e-09.
