We divide 617878 by 395
We want to figure out the number of times 617878 can be divided by 395.

Moving on to step 1:
395 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 395

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 61 by 395, we get 0 and a remainder of 61.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 61, we end up with 61.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 617 / 395

Advancing to step 3:
395 can be fit into 617 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 222.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 395 from 617 to get 222.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 222 and continue with: 2228 / 395

On to step 4:
When dividing 2228 by 395, we get 5 with a remainder of 253.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 1975 away from 2228, we end up with 253.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 253, then carry on: 2537 / 395

Step 5:
If we divide 2537 by 395, we get 6 and a remainder of 167.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 156.0
If we subtract 2370 from 2537, we get 167.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 167 and continue: 1678 / 395

Moving on to step 6:
1678 divided by 395 is 4 with a remainder of 98.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1564.0
If we take 1580 away from 1678, we end up with 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 980 by 395, we get 2 and a remainder of 190.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1564.2
Subtract 790 from 980 to get 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

Step 8:
1900 divided by 395 is 4 with a remainder of 320.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1564.24
If we take 1580 away from 1900, we end up with 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
395 goes into 3200 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1564.248
If we take 3160 away from 3200, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
400 divided by 395 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1564.2481
If we subtract 395 from 400, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 50 by 395, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1564.2481
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
395 can be fit into 500 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 105.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1564.248101
Subtracting 395 from 500 leaves us with 105.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1050, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 395 fits into 1050 2 times, leaving a remainder of 260.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1564.2481012
Subtract 790 from 1050 to get 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
2600 divided by 395 is 6 with a remainder of 230.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1564.24810126
If we take 2370 away from 2600, we end up with 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2300, and continue the process.

The final result is 1564.24810126 with a remainder of 2.3e-07.
