Let's divide 118796 by 78
We want to figure out the number of times 118796 can be divided by 78.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 11 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 118 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 118 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 78 from 118 leaves us with 40.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 407 / 78

Moving on to step 4:
78 can be fit into 407 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 390 from 407 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 179 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 179 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 23.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 152.0
Subtracting 156 from 179 leaves us with 23.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 236 / 78

Step 6:
When dividing 236 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1523.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 234 from 236.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1523.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
200 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1523.02
Subtracting 156 from 200 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 440 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1523.025
Subtracting 390 from 440 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
78 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1523.0256
Subtract 468 from 500 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
78 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1523.02564
Subtracting 312 from 320 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 12:
78 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1523.025641
Deduct 78 from 80 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
20 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1523.025641
If we take 0 away from 20, 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.

Step 14:
The number 78 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1523.02564102
Subtracting 156 from 200 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 1523.02564102 and a remainder of 4.4e-08.
