We divide 148968 by 78
We want to figure out the number of times 148968 can be divided by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 78

Step 2:
The number 78 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 148 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 148 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 78 from 148 leaves us with 70.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 709 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 709 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 702 away from 709, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 76 / 78

On to step 5:
78 can be fit into 76 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 190.0
If we take 0 away from 76, we end up with 76.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 76, then repeat: 768 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 768 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 66.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1909.0
If we subtract 702 from 768, we get 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 7:
If we divide 660 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1909.8
If we subtract 624 from 660, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
78 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1909.84
If we subtract 312 from 360, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
78 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1909.846
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.

Advancing to step 10:
120 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1909.8461
Subtract 78 from 120 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
78 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1909.84615
If we subtract 390 from 420, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1909.846153
If we subtract 234 from 300, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 660 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1909.8461538
If we subtract 624 from 660, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 360 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1909.84615384
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1909.84615384 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
