We're dividing 78972275 by 754 
We want to figure out the number of times 78972275 can be divided by 754.

Moving on to step 1:
754 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 754

Advancing to step 2:
754 goes into 78 0 times with a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 78, we get 78.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 78, then repeat: 789 / 754

Advancing to step 3:
754 can be fit into 789 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 754 from 789, we get 35.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 357 / 754

Moving on to step 4:
357 divided by 754 is 0 with a remainder of 357.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 357 leaves us with 357.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 357, then carry on: 3572 / 754

Step 5:
When dividing 3572 by 754, we get 4 with a remainder of 556.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 104.0
The remainder is 556 after subtracting 3016 from 3572.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 556, then repeat: 5562 / 754

Going ahead to step 6:
5562 divided by 754 is 7 with a remainder of 284.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1047.0
If we subtract 5278 from 5562, we get 284.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 284 and repeat the process: 2847 / 754

Step 7:
If we divide 2847 by 754, we get 3 and a remainder of 585.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10473.0
Subtracting 2262 from 2847 leaves us with 585.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 585, then carry on: 5855 / 754

Step 8:
When dividing 5855 by 754, we get 7 with a remainder of 577.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 104737.0
Subtract 5278 from 5855 to get 577.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5770, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
754 can be fit into 5770 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 492.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 104737.7
Deduct 5278 from 5770 and we're left with 492.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4920, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 754 fits into 4920 6 times, leaving a remainder of 396.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 104737.76
Deduct 4524 from 4920 and we're left with 396.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
3960 divided by 754 is 5 with a remainder of 190.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 104737.765
The remainder is 190 after subtracting 3770 from 3960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
754 can be fit into 1900 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 392.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 104737.7652
If we take 1508 away from 1900, we end up with 392.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
754 can be fit into 3920 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 150.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 104737.76525
The remainder is 150 after subtracting 3770 from 3920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 1500 by 754, we get 1 and a remainder of 746.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 104737.765251
Subtract 754 from 1500 to get 746.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 7460 by 754, we get 9 with a remainder of 674.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 104737.7652519
The remainder is 674 after subtracting 6786 from 7460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
6740 divided by 754 is 8 with a remainder of 708.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 104737.76525198
If we take 6032 away from 6740, we end up with 708.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7080, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 104737.76525198 and a remainder of 7.08e-07.
