Let's divide 494423 by 78
We want to figure out the number of times 494423 can be divided by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
78 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in 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.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
78 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 494 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 494 6 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 468 from 494, we get 26.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 264 / 78

Moving on to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 264 3 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we subtract 234 from 264, we get 30.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 302 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 302 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 633.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 234 from 302.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 683 / 78

On to step 6:
When dividing 683 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 59.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6338.0
If we subtract 624 from 683, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 590 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6338.7
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 546 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
440 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6338.75
Subtract 390 from 440 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
78 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6338.756
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 468 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6338.7564
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 312 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6338.75641
If we subtract 78 from 80, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
78 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6338.75641
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
200 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6338.7564102
If we subtract 156 from 200, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 14:
78 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6338.75641025
Deduct 390 from 440 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6338.75641025 and a remainder of 5e-08.
