Let's divide 117499 by 78
Our goal is to divide 117499 by 78.

Step 1:
78 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 117 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
117 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 78 from 117, we get 39.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 394 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
78 can be fit into 394 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 390 from 394 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 78

Step 5:
The number 78 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 150.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 499 / 78

Step 6:
78 goes into 499 6 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1506.0
If we take 468 away from 499, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
310 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1506.3
If we take 234 away from 310, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 760 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1506.39
If we subtract 702 from 760, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 580 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1506.397
Deduct 546 from 580 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 78 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1506.3974
Subtracting 312 from 340 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
78 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 46.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1506.39743
Subtracting 234 from 280 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
460 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1506.397435
If we take 390 away from 460, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
78 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 76.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1506.3974358
Subtract 624 from 700 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
760 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1506.39743589
If we take 702 away from 760, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

The final result is 1506.39743589 with a remainder of 5.8e-08.
