499877 ÷ 78 
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 499877.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 78

Step 2:
78 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 499 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
78 can be fit into 499 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 468 from 499, we get 31.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 318 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 318 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 64.0
If we take 312 away from 318, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 67 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 67 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 67.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 640.0
Subtract 0 from 67 to get 67.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 67, then carry on: 677 / 78

Step 6:
The number 78 fits into 677 8 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6408.0
Subtracting 624 from 677 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
530 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 62.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6408.6
If we subtract 468 from 530, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing 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: 6408.67
If we take 546 away from 620, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
740 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 38.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6408.679
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 380 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6408.6794
If we take 312 away from 380, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
78 can be fit into 680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6408.67948
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.

Step 12:
78 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6408.679487
If we subtract 546 from 560, we get 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 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: 6408.6794871
If we subtract 78 from 140, we get 62.
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 14:
78 can be fit into 620 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6408.67948717
Subtract 546 from 620 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

The final result is 6408.67948717 with a remainder of 7.4e-08.
