We look at the division of 478857 by 68 
We're looking to find how many times 68 goes into 478857.

On to step 1:
The number 68 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 68

Advancing to step 2:
The number 68 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 478 / 68

On to step 3:
68 can be fit into 478 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 476 away from 478, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 68

Let's proceed to step 4:
68 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 70.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 285 / 68

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 285 by 68, we get 4 with a remainder of 13.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 704.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 272 from 285.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 137 / 68

Advancing to step 6:
137 divided by 68 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7042.0
If we subtract 136 from 137, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 68, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7042.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 68 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7042.01
If we take 68 away from 100, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 68, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7042.014
If we subtract 272 from 320, 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
68 can be fit into 480 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7042.0147
Deduct 476 from 480 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
68 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7042.0147
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 12:
68 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7042.014705
If we subtract 340 from 400, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 68 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7042.0147058
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 544 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 560 by 68, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7042.01470588
If we take 544 away from 560, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 7042.01470588 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
