51049 divided by 78 
We want to divide 51049 by 78.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 51 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 51, we get 51.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 510 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 510 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 468 from 510 and we're left with 42.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 424 / 78

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 424 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 65.0
Subtract 390 from 424 to get 34.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 349 / 78

Step 5:
349 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 37.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 654.0
If we take 312 away from 349, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 6:
78 goes into 370 4 times with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 654.4
If we take 312 away from 370, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 654.47
If we take 546 away from 580, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 654.474
If we take 312 away from 340, we end up 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 280 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 46.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 654.4743
Subtract 234 from 280 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 460 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 654.47435
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.

On to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 654.474358
Deduct 624 from 700 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 760 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 58.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 654.4743589
Subtracting 702 from 760 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 78 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 654.47435897
Subtracting 546 from 580 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 654.47435897 and a remainder of 3.4e-08.
