422585 divided by 78 
Our goal is to divide 422585 by 78.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
78 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 422 / 78

On to step 3:
422 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 390 away from 422, we end up with 32.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 325 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
78 goes into 325 4 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 312 away from 325, we end up with 13.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 138 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
138 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 541.0
Subtracting 78 from 138 leaves us with 60.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 605 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 605 7 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5417.0
Subtract 546 from 605 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
78 goes into 590 7 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5417.7
Subtracting 546 from 590 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
78 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5417.75
Subtract 390 from 440 to get 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 9:
500 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5417.756
If we take 468 away from 500, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5417.7564
Subtracting 312 from 320 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5417.75641
Deduct 78 from 80 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 20 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5417.75641
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5417.7564102
Subtract 156 from 200 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 440 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5417.75641025
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 390 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The final result is 5417.75641025 with a remainder of 5e-08.
