Let's divide 471051 by 78
Our goal is to divide 471051 by 78.

Going ahead 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
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 78

Step 2:
The number 78 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 47 leaves us with 47.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 471 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
78 goes into 471 6 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 468 away from 471, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 30 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 305 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
305 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 71.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 603.0
If we subtract 234 from 305, we get 71.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 711 / 78

Step 6:
The number 78 fits into 711 9 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6039.0
Subtract 702 from 711 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 90 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6039.1
If we take 78 away from 90, 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.

Step 8:
78 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6039.11
Subtracting 78 from 120 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6039.11 and a remainder of 0.042.
