We divide 972644 by 78
We want to figure out the number of times 972644 can be divided by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
78 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
78 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 78 from 97 to get 19.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 192 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 192 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 156 away from 192, we end up with 36.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 366 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 366 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 124.0
Deduct 312 from 366 and we're left with 54.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 544 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
544 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1246.0
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 468 from 544.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 76 and continue: 764 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 764 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12469.0
If we subtract 702 from 764, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 78 fits into 620 7 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12469.7
Deduct 546 from 620 and we're left with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
78 goes into 740 9 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12469.79
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 702 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 78 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12469.794
Subtracting 312 from 380 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 10:
78 goes into 680 8 times with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12469.7948
Subtracting 624 from 680 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 11:
78 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12469.79487
Deduct 546 from 560 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
140 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 62.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12469.794871
If we subtract 78 from 140, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
620 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 74.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12469.7948717
Subtract 546 from 620 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 78 fits into 740 9 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12469.79487179
Subtracting 702 from 740 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12469.79487179 with a balance of 3.8e-08.
