We're dividing 488199 by 78 
We want to divide 488199 by 78.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 78

Step 2:
When dividing 48 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 488 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 488 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 468 from 488 leaves us with 20.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 201 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 201 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we subtract 156 from 201, we get 45.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 459 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 goes into 459 5 times with a remainder of 69.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 625.0
If we subtract 390 from 459, we get 69.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 69 and repeat the process: 699 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 699 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6258.0
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 624 from 699.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 750 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6258.9
Subtract 702 from 750 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
78 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6258.96
Deduct 468 from 480 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
120 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6258.961
If we take 78 away from 120, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 420 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6258.9615
Subtract 390 from 420 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 300 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 66.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6258.96153
Subtracting 234 from 300 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 660 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6258.961538
If we take 624 away from 660, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
360 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6258.9615384
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 312 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
480 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6258.96153846
Subtracting 468 from 480 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final result is 6258.96153846 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
