404308 ÷ 78 
Our goal is to divide 404308 by 78.

Moving on to step 1:
78 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 404 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
78 can be fit into 404 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 390 from 404 and we're left with 14.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 143 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 143 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 78 from 143.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 65, then carry on: 650 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
650 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 518.0
If we subtract 624 from 650, we get 26.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 268 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 268 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5183.0
If we subtract 234 from 268, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 7:
78 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5183.4
Deduct 312 from 340 and we're left 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 8:
If we divide 280 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5183.43
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 9:
78 goes into 460 5 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5183.435
Deduct 390 from 460 and we're left 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 10:
78 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5183.4358
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 760 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 58.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5183.43589
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 702 from 760.
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 12:
The number 78 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5183.435897
If we subtract 546 from 580, we get 34.
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 13:
When dividing 340 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5183.4358974
Subtracting 312 from 340 leaves us 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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 280 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 46.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5183.43589743
Deduct 234 from 280 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 5183.43589743, and the remainder is 4.6e-08.
