Let's divide 562940 by 78
We want to figure out the number of times 562940 can be divided by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 56 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
78 goes into 56 0 times with a remainder of 56.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 56 and we're left with 56.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 562 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
78 goes into 562 7 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 546 from 562 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 169 / 78

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 169 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtracting 156 from 169 leaves us with 13.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 134 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
78 goes into 134 1 times with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 721.0
If we take 78 away from 134, we end up with 56.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 560 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
560 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7217.0
Subtract 546 from 560 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7217.1
Deduct 78 from 140 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 620 7 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7217.17
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 9:
When dividing 740 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7217.179
Deduct 702 from 740 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 380 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7217.1794
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 312 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
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: 7217.17948
Deduct 624 from 680 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 12:
78 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7217.179487
If we take 546 away from 560, we end up 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.

Step 13:
140 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7217.1794871
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 78 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
78 can be fit into 620 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7217.17948717
If we take 546 away from 620, we end up 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.

The final result is 7217.17948717 with a remainder of 7.4e-08.
