587499 ÷ 78 
We want to divide 587499 by 78.

Step 1:
78 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 78

Step 2:
When dividing 58 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 58.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 0 from 58.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 587 / 78

On to step 3:
78 goes into 587 7 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 546 from 587 to get 41.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 414 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 414 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 24.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 75.0
If we take 390 away from 414, we end up with 24.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 249 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 249 3 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 753.0
If we subtract 234 from 249, we get 15.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 159 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 159 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7532.0
Subtracting 156 from 159 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7532.0
Subtract 0 from 30 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7532.03
If we subtract 234 from 300, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
78 goes into 660 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7532.038
Subtracting 624 from 660 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7532.0384
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 312 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
480 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7532.03846
Subtract 468 from 480 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7532.038461
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
78 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7532.0384615
If we subtract 390 from 420, we 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.

Advancing to step 14:
78 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7532.03846153
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.

The final outcome is 7532.03846153, with a leftover of 6.6e-08.
