78838 ÷ 73 
We want to divide 78838 by 73.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
73 goes into 78 1 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 73 away from 78, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 73

On to step 3:
If we divide 58 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 58.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 58, we end up with 58.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 583 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
73 goes into 583 7 times with a remainder of 72.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 107.0
If we subtract 511 from 583, we get 72.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 728 / 73

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 728 by 73, we get 9 with a remainder of 71.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1079.0
Deduct 657 from 728 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 710 9 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1079.9
If we subtract 657 from 710, we get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
73 can be fit into 530 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1079.97
Subtract 511 from 530 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
190 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1079.972
Deduct 146 from 190 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
440 divided by 73 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1079.9726
If we take 438 away from 440, we end up with 2.
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 10:
If we divide 20 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1079.9726
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
200 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1079.972602
Deduct 146 from 200 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 540 by 73, we get 7 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1079.9726027
Deduct 511 from 540 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 73 fits into 290 3 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1079.97260273
Subtract 219 from 290 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1079.97260273 with a balance of 7.1e-08.
