We divide 114742 by 78
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 114742.

Moving on to step 1:
78 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 114 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
78 can be fit into 114 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 78 from 114 leaves us with 36.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 367 / 78

On to step 4:
When dividing 367 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 55.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 312 from 367 and we're left with 55.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 554 / 78

On to step 5:
554 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 147.0
Deduct 546 from 554 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 82 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 82 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1471.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 78 from 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
78 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1471.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1471.05
Deduct 390 from 400 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1471.051
Deduct 78 from 100 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
220 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1471.0512
Subtract 156 from 220 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 640 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1471.05128
Subtracting 624 from 640 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1471.051282
Deduct 156 from 160 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 40 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1471.051282
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 78 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1471.05128205
Subtract 390 from 400 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1471.05128205 with a balance of 1e-08.
