404485 divided by 78 
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 404485.

Let's proceed to step 1:
78 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 78

On to step 2:
40 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 404 / 78

Step 3:
78 goes into 404 5 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 390 from 404 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 144 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
78 can be fit into 144 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we take 78 away from 144, we end up with 66.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 668 / 78

On to step 5:
If we divide 668 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 518.0
Subtract 624 from 668 to get 44.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 445 / 78

On to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 445 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5185.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 390 from 445.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 550 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5185.7
If we subtract 546 from 550, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5185.7
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
78 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5185.705
If we take 390 away from 400, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
78 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5185.7051
Subtracting 78 from 100 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
78 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5185.70512
Subtracting 156 from 220 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 12:
640 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5185.705128
If we subtract 624 from 640, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 160 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5185.7051282
Deduct 156 from 160 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
78 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5185.7051282
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5185.7051282, and the remainder is 4e-08.
