We divide 42051158 by 78
Our goal is to divide 42051158 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
78 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in 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.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 420 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 390 from 420, we get 30.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 305 / 78

Step 4:
305 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 71.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtract 234 from 305 to get 71.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 711 / 78

Step 5:
78 goes into 711 9 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 539.0
If we subtract 702 from 711, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 91 / 78

Step 6:
78 can be fit into 91 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5391.0
If we take 78 away from 91, we end up with 13.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 135 / 78

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 135 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 57.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 53911.0
If we subtract 78 from 135, we get 57.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 578 / 78

On to step 8:
578 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 539117.0
Deduct 546 from 578 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 320 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 539117.4
If we take 312 away from 320, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
78 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 539117.41
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 78 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 20 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 539117.41
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
78 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 539117.4102
If we subtract 156 from 200, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 78 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 539117.41025
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 390 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 500 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 539117.410256
If we take 468 away from 500, 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.

On to step 15:
The number 78 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 539117.4102564
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 312 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 78 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 539117.41025641
Subtract 78 from 80 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 539117.41025641 with a remaining 2e-09.
