We're dividing 550796 by 78 
Our goal is to divide 550796 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 78

On to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 55 and we're left with 55.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 550 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
78 can be fit into 550 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 546 from 550, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
78 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 70.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 479 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 can be fit into 479 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 706.0
Subtract 468 from 479 to get 11.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 116 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
78 goes into 116 1 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7061.0
If we subtract 78 from 116, 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 7:
78 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7061.4
Subtract 312 from 380 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
680 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7061.48
Subtract 624 from 680 to 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7061.487
Deduct 546 from 560 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 10:
When dividing 140 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 62.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7061.4871
If we take 78 away from 140, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
620 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 74.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7061.48717
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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 740 9 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7061.487179
Subtracting 702 from 740 leaves us with 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 13:
When dividing 380 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7061.4871794
Subtracting 312 from 380 leaves us 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.

On to step 14:
680 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7061.48717948
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 624 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7061.48717948 and a remainder of 5.6e-08.
