Let's divide 48694257 by 78
We want to divide 48694257 by 78.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 486 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
78 goes into 486 6 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 468 away from 486, we end up with 18.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 189 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
78 can be fit into 189 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62.0
Deduct 156 from 189 and we're left with 33.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 334 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
334 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 624.0
If we subtract 312 from 334, we get 22.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 222 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
78 goes into 222 2 times with a remainder of 66.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6242.0
Subtract 156 from 222 to get 66.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 665 / 78

On to step 7:
665 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 41.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62428.0
If we subtract 624 from 665, we get 41.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 417 / 78

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 417 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 624285.0
Subtract 390 from 417 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
78 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 624285.3
If we subtract 234 from 270, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
78 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 624285.34
If we subtract 312 from 360, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
78 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 624285.346
If we take 468 away from 480, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 120 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 624285.3461
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 78 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 13:
420 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 624285.34615
Subtract 390 from 420 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 78 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 624285.346153
If we take 234 away from 300, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 660 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 624285.3461538
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 624 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 16:
If we divide 360 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 624285.34615384
Subtract 312 from 360 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 624285.34615384 with a remaining 4.8e-08.
