120273 ÷ 78 
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 120273.

On to step 1:
78 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
12 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 120 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 78 from 120 leaves us with 42.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 422 / 78

Moving on to step 4:
78 can be fit into 422 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 390 from 422.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 327 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 goes into 327 4 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 154.0
Deduct 312 from 327 and we're left with 15.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 153 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 153 1 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1541.0
If we subtract 78 from 153, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 750 9 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1541.9
Subtracting 702 from 750 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
480 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1541.96
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 468 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
78 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1541.961
Subtracting 78 from 120 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1541.9615
Deduct 390 from 420 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
78 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1541.96153
Deduct 234 from 300 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
78 goes into 660 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1541.961538
Deduct 624 from 660 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
78 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1541.9615384
Subtracting 312 from 360 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 14:
480 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1541.96153846
Deduct 468 from 480 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final result is 1541.96153846 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
