Let's divide 708909 by 78
We want to divide 708909 by 78.

Step 1:
The number 78 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 70 / 78

On to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 708 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
78 goes into 708 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 702 from 708 to get 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 78

Moving on to step 4:
69 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 90.0
Subtracting 0 from 69 leaves us with 69.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 690 / 78

Step 5:
78 can be fit into 690 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 908.0
Deduct 624 from 690 and we're left with 66.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 669 / 78

On to step 6:
If we divide 669 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 45.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9088.0
Subtract 624 from 669 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 78 fits into 450 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9088.5
Subtract 390 from 450 to 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.

On to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9088.57
Subtracting 546 from 600 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 9:
78 goes into 540 6 times with a remainder of 72.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9088.576
If we subtract 468 from 540, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
78 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9088.5769
Deduct 702 from 720 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9088.57692
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 156 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
78 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9088.576923
If we take 234 away from 240, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 60 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9088.576923
Subtract 0 from 60 to 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 14:
78 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 9088.57692307
If we take 546 away from 600, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

The final result is 9088.57692307 with a remainder of 5.4e-08.
