Let's divide 300978 by 5
We want to divide 300978 by 5.

Step 1:
When dividing 3 by 5, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 5

Step 2:
When dividing 30 by 5, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 30 away from 30, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 0 / 5

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 0 by 5, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 5

Let's proceed to step 4:
5 can be fit into 9 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 601.0
Deduct 5 from 9 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 5

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 47 by 5, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6019.0
Subtracting 45 from 47 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 5

Moving on to step 6:
5 goes into 28 5 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 60195.0
If we take 25 away from 28, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 5, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 60195.6
If we take 30 away from 30, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 60195.6
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
5 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 60195.6
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 60195.6 with a remaining 0.0.
