We divide 554831 by 78
We want to figure out the number of times 554831 can be divided by 78.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 78

On to step 2:
55 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 55, we get 55.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 554 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 554 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 546 from 554 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
88 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71.0
Subtract 78 from 88 to get 10.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 103 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 103 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 25.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 711.0
Subtracting 78 from 103 leaves us with 25.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 251 / 78

Step 6:
78 can be fit into 251 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7113.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 234 from 251.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
78 goes into 170 2 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7113.2
Deduct 156 from 170 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7113.21
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 78 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 620 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7113.217
If we subtract 546 from 620, we 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 740 9 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7113.2179
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 380 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7113.21794
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7113.217948
If we take 624 away from 680, we end up with 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 13:
If we divide 560 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7113.2179487
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 546 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
78 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7113.21794871
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 78 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7113.21794871 and a remainder of 6.2e-08.
