We look at the division of 559972 by 78 
We want to figure out the number of times 559972 can be divided by 78.

On to step 1:
78 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
78 goes into 55 0 times with a remainder of 55.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 55, we get 55.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 559 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
78 goes into 559 7 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 546 away from 559, we end up with 13.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 139 / 78

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 139 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 61.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
Deduct 78 from 139 and we're left with 61.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 617 / 78

On to step 5:
78 can be fit into 617 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 717.0
If we take 546 away from 617, we end up with 71.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 71 and continue with: 712 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
78 can be fit into 712 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7179.0
Deduct 702 from 712 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.

Moving on to step 7:
78 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7179.1
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
78 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7179.12
Deduct 156 from 220 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
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: 7179.128
Subtract 624 from 640 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
78 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7179.1282
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
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 11:
40 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7179.1282
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 400 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7179.128205
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 78 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7179.1282051
Subtract 78 from 100 to get 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 14:
The number 78 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7179.12820512
Deduct 156 from 220 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7179.12820512 with a remaining 6.4e-08.
