We divide 598642 by 78
We want to figure out the number of times 598642 can be divided by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
59 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 59 to get 59.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 59 and repeat the process: 598 / 78

Step 3:
If we divide 598 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 52.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 546 from 598 to get 52.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 526 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
78 can be fit into 526 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 76.0
If we take 468 away from 526, we end up with 58.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 584 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 can be fit into 584 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 767.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 546 from 584.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 382 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
382 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7674.0
Subtract 312 from 382 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 700 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7674.8
If we subtract 624 from 700, we get 76.
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 8:
760 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7674.89
If we subtract 702 from 760, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
78 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7674.897
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 546 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 340 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7674.8974
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
280 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7674.89743
Deduct 234 from 280 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
460 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7674.897435
Subtract 390 from 460 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 700 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7674.8974358
Subtract 624 from 700 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 760 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 58.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7674.89743589
Subtract 702 from 760 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 7674.89743589, with a leftover of 5.8e-08.
