984998 ÷ 78 
We want to divide 984998 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
98 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 78 from 98 to get 20.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 204 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
78 goes into 204 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 156 from 204 leaves us with 48.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 489 / 78

Step 4:
78 can be fit into 489 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 126.0
Deduct 468 from 489 and we're left with 21.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 219 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 219 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1262.0
Subtract 156 from 219 to get 63.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 638 / 78

On to step 6:
78 can be fit into 638 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12628.0
Deduct 624 from 638 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12628.1
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 78 from 140.
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 8:
620 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12628.17
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 546 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
78 goes into 740 9 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12628.179
If we subtract 702 from 740, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
78 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12628.1794
Subtract 312 from 380 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 680 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12628.17948
If we take 624 away from 680, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 560 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12628.179487
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 546 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 13:
140 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12628.1794871
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 78 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 14:
620 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12628.17948717
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 546 from 620.
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 12628.17948717 with a remaining 7.4e-08.
