We look at the division of 725987 by 78 
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 725987.

Moving on to step 1:
78 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 72, we get 72.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 725 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
725 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 702 from 725 and we're left with 23.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 239 / 78

Step 4:
239 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 93.0
If we take 234 away from 239, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 78

Step 5:
78 goes into 58 0 times with a remainder of 58.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 930.0
Subtract 0 from 58 to get 58.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 587 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 587 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 9307.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 546 from 587.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
78 can be fit into 410 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9307.5
If we take 390 away from 410, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
78 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 9307.52
If we take 156 away from 200, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
440 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9307.525
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 390 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9307.5256
Deduct 468 from 500 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9307.52564
If we subtract 312 from 320, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9307.525641
Subtracting 78 from 80 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 20 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9307.525641
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 200 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9307.52564102
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 156 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The final result is 9307.52564102 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
