16978790 divided by 878 
We want to divide 16978790 by 878.

Step 1:
878 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 878

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 878 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 169 / 878

Advancing to step 3:
878 can be fit into 169 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 169.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 169, we get 169.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 169, then carry on: 1697 / 878

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 1697 by 878, we get 1 and a remainder of 819.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 878 from 1697 and we're left with 819.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 819, then repeat: 8198 / 878

Moving on to step 5:
8198 divided by 878 is 9 with a remainder of 296.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 7902 away from 8198, we end up with 296.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 296, then carry on: 2967 / 878

Step 6:
878 can be fit into 2967 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 333.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 193.0
Subtract 2634 from 2967 to get 333.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 333 and continue: 3339 / 878

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 3339 by 878, we get 3 with a remainder of 705.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1933.0
Subtract 2634 from 3339 to get 705.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 705, then carry on: 7050 / 878

Advancing to step 8:
878 goes into 7050 8 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19338.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 7024 from 7050.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 9:
878 goes into 260 0 times with a remainder of 260.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19338.0
Subtracting 0 from 260 leaves us with 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
878 can be fit into 2600 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 844.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19338.02
If we subtract 1756 from 2600, we get 844.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
878 can be fit into 8440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 538.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19338.029
Subtract 7902 from 8440 to get 538.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 878 fits into 5380 6 times, leaving a remainder of 112.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19338.0296
Subtracting 5268 from 5380 leaves us with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 878 fits into 1120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 242.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 19338.02961
If we take 878 away from 1120, we end up with 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 2420 by 878, we get 2 with a remainder of 664.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19338.029612
Deduct 1756 from 2420 and we're left with 664.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6640, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
6640 divided by 878 is 7 with a remainder of 494.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19338.0296127
The remainder is 494 after subtracting 6146 from 6640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4940, and continue the process.

Step 16:
878 can be fit into 4940 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 550.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19338.02961275
Subtracting 4390 from 4940 leaves us with 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 19338.02961275 with a remaining 5.5e-07.
