We're dividing 498361 by 78 
We want to divide 498361 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
78 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 498 / 78

On to step 3:
78 goes into 498 6 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 468 from 498 and we're left with 30.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 303 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 303 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtract 234 from 303 to get 69.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 696 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
78 goes into 696 8 times with a remainder of 72.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 638.0
Deduct 624 from 696 and we're left with 72.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 721 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 721 9 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6389.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 702 from 721.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6389.2
If we subtract 156 from 190, 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6389.24
Subtract 312 from 340 to get 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 9:
If we divide 280 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6389.243
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 460 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6389.2435
Subtracting 390 from 460 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6389.24358
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 624 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
78 can be fit into 760 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6389.243589
Subtracting 702 from 760 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
78 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6389.2435897
Subtract 546 from 580 to 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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 340 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6389.24358974
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.

The final result is 6389.24358974 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
