Let's divide 41609 by 78
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 41609.

On to step 1:
78 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 78

On to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 41 0 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 41 leaves us with 41.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 416 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 416 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 390 away from 416, we end up with 26.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 260 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 260 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we take 234 away from 260, we end up with 26.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 269 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
78 can be fit into 269 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 533.0
Subtract 234 from 269 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
350 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 38.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 533.4
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 312 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
380 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 533.44
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 312 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 533.44, and the remainder is 0.068.
