Let's divide 429038 by 78
We want to divide 429038 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
78 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 78

Step 2:
78 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 429 / 78

On to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 429 5 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 390 from 429.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 390 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 390 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 390 from 390 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 3 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 3 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 550.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 38 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5500.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 0 from 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 380 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5500.4
If we subtract 312 from 380, we 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.

Advancing to step 8:
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: 5500.48
If we subtract 624 from 680, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
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: 5500.487
If we take 546 away from 560, we end up 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.

Step 10:
78 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5500.4871
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 620 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 74.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5500.48717
Subtracting 546 from 620 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:
If we divide 740 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 38.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5500.487179
Subtracting 702 from 740 leaves us 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 13:
If we divide 380 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5500.4871794
Deduct 312 from 380 and we're left 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.

Step 14:
78 can be fit into 680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5500.48717948
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.

After the division, we end up with 5500.48717948 and a remainder of 5.6e-08.
