Let's divide 450956 by 78
We want to divide 450956 by 78.

Advancing 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
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 45 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
78 goes into 45 0 times with a remainder of 45.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 45, we end up with 45.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 450 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 450 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 390 from 450 and we're left with 60.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 609 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
609 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 63.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 546 from 609.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 635 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
78 goes into 635 8 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 578.0
If we subtract 624 from 635, we get 11.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 116 / 78

On to step 6:
78 can be fit into 116 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5781.0
If we subtract 78 from 116, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
78 goes into 380 4 times with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5781.4
Deduct 312 from 380 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 8:
78 goes into 680 8 times with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5781.48
Deduct 624 from 680 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 560 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5781.487
Subtracting 546 from 560 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
140 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 62.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5781.4871
If we take 78 away from 140, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 620 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5781.48717
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 546 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
78 goes into 740 9 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5781.487179
If we take 702 away from 740, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 78 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5781.4871794
If we subtract 312 from 380, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
680 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5781.48717948
If we take 624 away from 680, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final result is 5781.48717948 with a remainder of 5.6e-08.
