Let's divide 12501 by 78
Our goal is to divide 12501 by 78.

On to step 1:
78 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
78 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 125 / 78

Step 3:
78 can be fit into 125 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 78 from 125, we get 47.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 470 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
78 can be fit into 470 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 468 from 470.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 21 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 160.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 210 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 160.2
Subtracting 156 from 210 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 540 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 160.26
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.

Advancing to step 8:
720 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 160.269
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 180 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 160.2692
Subtract 156 from 180 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
78 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 160.26923
Deduct 234 from 240 and we're left 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 11:
60 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 160.26923
If we subtract 0 from 60, we 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 12:
When dividing 600 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 54.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 160.2692307
Subtract 546 from 600 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 540 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 160.26923076
Deduct 468 from 540 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The final result is 160.26923076 with a remainder of 7.2e-08.
