Let's divide 78761017 by 551
Our goal is to divide 78761017 by 551.

Step 1:
551 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 551

Advancing to step 2:
The number 551 fits into 78 0 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 78 to get 78.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 78, then carry on: 787 / 551

Moving on to step 3:
787 divided by 551 is 1 with a remainder of 236.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 551 from 787, we get 236.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 236 and repeat the process: 2366 / 551

Moving on to step 4:
551 can be fit into 2366 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 162.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 2204 from 2366, we get 162.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 162, then repeat: 1621 / 551

Advancing to step 5:
551 goes into 1621 2 times with a remainder of 519.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142.0
If we subtract 1102 from 1621, we get 519.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 519, then carry on: 5190 / 551

On to step 6:
551 goes into 5190 9 times with a remainder of 231.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1429.0
If we take 4959 away from 5190, we end up with 231.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 231 and continue with: 2311 / 551

Step 7:
2311 divided by 551 is 4 with a remainder of 107.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14294.0
If we subtract 2204 from 2311, we get 107.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 107, then carry on: 1077 / 551

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 1077 by 551, we get 1 with a remainder of 526.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142941.0
Subtract 551 from 1077 to get 526.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
551 can be fit into 5260 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 301.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 142941.9
Deduct 4959 from 5260 and we're left with 301.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3010, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 3010 by 551, we get 5 and a remainder of 255.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 142941.95
If we take 2755 away from 3010, we end up with 255.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2550, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
2550 divided by 551 is 4 with a remainder of 346.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142941.954
The remainder is 346 after subtracting 2204 from 2550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 3460 by 551, we get 6 and a remainder of 154.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142941.9546
Subtract 3306 from 3460 to get 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
1540 divided by 551 is 2 with a remainder of 438.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142941.95462
The remainder is 438 after subtracting 1102 from 1540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 4380 by 551, we get 7 with a remainder of 523.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142941.954627
The remainder is 523 after subtracting 3857 from 4380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5230, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 5230 by 551, we get 9 with a remainder of 271.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 142941.9546279
Subtract 4959 from 5230 to get 271.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
2710 divided by 551 is 4 with a remainder of 506.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142941.95462794
If we subtract 2204 from 2710, we get 506.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5060, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 142941.95462794 with a balance of 5.06e-07.
