We divide 462878 by 78
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 462878.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
78 goes into 46 0 times with a remainder of 46.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 46 leaves us with 46.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 462 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 462 5 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 390 from 462.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 728 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
78 goes into 728 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we take 702 away from 728, we end up with 26.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 267 / 78

On to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 267 3 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 593.0
Subtracting 234 from 267 leaves us with 33.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 338 / 78

On to step 6:
If we divide 338 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5934.0
If we subtract 312 from 338, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
260 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5934.3
If we subtract 234 from 260, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5934.33
If we subtract 234 from 260, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The final result is 5934.33 with a remainder of 0.026.
