We divide 6501978 by 878
We want to divide 6501978 by 878.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 878, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 65 / 878

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 65 by 878, we get 0 with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 65 leaves us with 65.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 650 / 878

Let's proceed to step 3:
878 goes into 650 0 times with a remainder of 650.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 650, we end up with 650.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 650, then repeat: 6501 / 878

On to step 4:
6501 divided by 878 is 7 with a remainder of 355.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 6146 from 6501 to get 355.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 355, then carry on: 3559 / 878

Moving on to step 5:
878 can be fit into 3559 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74.0
Subtract 3512 from 3559 to get 47.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 477 / 878

On to step 6:
878 goes into 477 0 times with a remainder of 477.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 740.0
The remainder is 477 after subtracting 0 from 477.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 477 and repeat the process: 4778 / 878

Going ahead to step 7:
878 can be fit into 4778 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 388.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7405.0
The remainder is 388 after subtracting 4390 from 4778.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 3880 by 878, we get 4 with a remainder of 368.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7405.4
Subtract 3512 from 3880 to get 368.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3680, and continue the process.

Step 9:
878 goes into 3680 4 times with a remainder of 168.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7405.44
Subtracting 3512 from 3680 leaves us with 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7405.44 and a remainder of 0.168.
