We're dividing 478966 by 78 
We want to divide 478966 by 78.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 78

On to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 478 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
78 can be fit into 478 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 468 from 478.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 109 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
78 goes into 109 1 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtracting 78 from 109 leaves us with 31.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 316 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 316 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 614.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 312 from 316.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 46 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6140.0
If we take 0 away from 46, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
78 can be fit into 460 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6140.5
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 390 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
700 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6140.58
Subtracting 624 from 700 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
760 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6140.589
Subtract 702 from 760 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 580 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6140.5897
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 546 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6140.58974
If we take 312 away from 340, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
78 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6140.589743
If we take 234 away from 280, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
460 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6140.5897435
If we take 390 away from 460, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
78 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6140.58974358
If we take 624 away from 700, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6140.58974358 with a remaining 7.6e-08.
