Let's divide 836959 by 78
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 836959.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 83 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
78 goes into 83 1 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 78 from 83 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 56 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 56 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 56 to get 56.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 569 / 78

Step 4:
78 can be fit into 569 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 107.0
Subtract 546 from 569 to get 23.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 235 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 235 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1073.0
If we take 234 away from 235, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10730.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 0 from 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
190 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 10730.2
Subtract 156 from 190 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10730.24
If we subtract 312 from 340, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10730.243
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
78 goes into 460 5 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10730.2435
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 390 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 78 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10730.24358
If we subtract 624 from 700, we 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 12:
When dividing 760 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 58.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10730.243589
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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 580 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10730.2435897
If we subtract 546 from 580, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
78 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10730.24358974
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 312 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 10730.24358974 and a remainder of 2.8e-08.
