We divide 78844514 by 401
We want to divide 78844514 by 401.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 401, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 401

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 78 by 401, we get 0 with a remainder of 78.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 78 and we're left with 78.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 78, then carry on: 788 / 401

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 401 fits into 788 1 times, leaving a remainder of 387.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 401 from 788 leaves us with 387.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 387, then repeat: 3874 / 401

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 3874 by 401, we get 9 and a remainder of 265.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 265 after subtracting 3609 from 3874.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 265 and continue: 2654 / 401

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 2654 by 401, we get 6 with a remainder of 248.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 196.0
Subtracting 2406 from 2654 leaves us with 248.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 248, then repeat: 2485 / 401

Step 6:
2485 divided by 401 is 6 with a remainder of 79.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1966.0
Subtract 2406 from 2485 to get 79.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 79 and continue with: 791 / 401

On to step 7:
791 divided by 401 is 1 with a remainder of 390.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19661.0
The remainder is 390 after subtracting 401 from 791.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 390 and repeat the process: 3904 / 401

Step 8:
When dividing 3904 by 401, we get 9 with a remainder of 295.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 196619.0
If we subtract 3609 from 3904, we get 295.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2950, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 401 fits into 2950 7 times, leaving a remainder of 143.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 196619.7
Subtracting 2807 from 2950 leaves us with 143.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1430, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
401 goes into 1430 3 times with a remainder of 227.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 196619.73
Subtract 1203 from 1430 to get 227.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
401 can be fit into 2270 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 265.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 196619.735
Subtract 2005 from 2270 to get 265.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2650, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 401 fits into 2650 6 times, leaving a remainder of 244.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 196619.7356
Deduct 2406 from 2650 and we're left with 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
401 can be fit into 2440 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 196619.73566
Subtracting 2406 from 2440 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Our division results in 196619.73566 with a remaining 3.4e-05.
