We look at the division of 16706987 by 780 
We want to divide 16706987 by 780.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 780 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 780

Advancing to step 2:
780 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 167 / 780

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 167 by 780, we get 0 and a remainder of 167.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 167 to get 167.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 167 and repeat the process: 1670 / 780

On to step 4:
1670 divided by 780 is 2 with a remainder of 110.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 1560 from 1670 leaves us with 110.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 110 and repeat the process: 1106 / 780

On to step 5:
The number 780 fits into 1106 1 times, leaving a remainder of 326.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 780 away from 1106, we end up with 326.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 326, then carry on: 3269 / 780

Moving on to step 6:
3269 divided by 780 is 4 with a remainder of 149.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 214.0
If we take 3120 away from 3269, we end up with 149.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 149, then repeat: 1498 / 780

Step 7:
1498 divided by 780 is 1 with a remainder of 718.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2141.0
If we take 780 away from 1498, we end up with 718.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 718, then carry on: 7187 / 780

Step 8:
780 can be fit into 7187 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 167.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21419.0
Deduct 7020 from 7187 and we're left with 167.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 780 fits into 1670 2 times, leaving a remainder of 110.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21419.2
If we take 1560 away from 1670, we end up with 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 1100 by 780, we get 1 and a remainder of 320.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21419.21
The remainder is 320 after subtracting 780 from 1100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3200, and continue the process.

Step 11:
780 can be fit into 3200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21419.214
Subtract 3120 from 3200 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
780 can be fit into 800 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21419.2141
If we take 780 away from 800, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 780 fits into 200 0 times, leaving a remainder of 200.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21419.2141
If we take 0 away from 200, we end up with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
780 goes into 2000 2 times with a remainder of 440.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21419.214102
The remainder is 440 after subtracting 1560 from 2000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
4400 divided by 780 is 5 with a remainder of 500.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21419.2141025
The remainder is 500 after subtracting 3900 from 4400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5000, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
5000 divided by 780 is 6 with a remainder of 320.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21419.21410256
Subtract 4680 from 5000 to get 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21419.21410256, and the remainder is 3.2e-07.
