Let's divide 578873 by 68
We want to figure out the number of times 578873 can be divided by 68.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 68, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 68

Step 2:
68 goes into 57 0 times with a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 0 from 57.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 57 and continue with: 578 / 68

Let's proceed to step 3:
68 can be fit into 578 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 544 from 578 leaves us with 34.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 348 / 68

On to step 4:
68 can be fit into 348 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 340 from 348.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 68

Moving on to step 5:
68 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 851.0
Subtract 68 from 87 to get 19.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 193 / 68

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 193 by 68, we get 2 and a remainder of 57.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8512.0
If we subtract 136 from 193, we get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
570 divided by 68 is 8 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8512.8
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 544 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 68 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8512.83
If we take 204 away from 260, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
68 can be fit into 560 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8512.838
Subtracting 544 from 560 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 68 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8512.8382
If we take 136 away from 160, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 240 by 68, we get 3 and a remainder of 36.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8512.83823
If we take 204 away from 240, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
68 goes into 360 5 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8512.838235
Subtracting 340 from 360 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
68 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8512.8382352
Deduct 136 from 200 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
68 goes into 640 9 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8512.83823529
Deduct 612 from 640 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 8512.83823529 with a balance of 2.8e-08.
