We look at the division of 459239 by 78 
We want to divide 459239 by 78.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 45 0 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 45 to get 45.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 459 / 78

On to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 459 5 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 390 from 459 leaves us with 69.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 69 and repeat the process: 692 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
692 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtract 624 from 692 to get 68.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 683 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 683 8 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 588.0
If we take 624 away from 683, we end up with 59.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 599 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 599 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 53.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5887.0
If we subtract 546 from 599, we get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 530 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 62.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5887.6
Subtracting 468 from 530 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 620 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 74.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5887.67
Deduct 546 from 620 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
78 can be fit into 740 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5887.679
Subtracting 702 from 740 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 380 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5887.6794
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 can be fit into 680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5887.67948
If we take 624 away from 680, 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 12:
The number 78 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5887.679487
If we subtract 546 from 560, we 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 13:
When dividing 140 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 62.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5887.6794871
Subtracting 78 from 140 leaves us 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.

On to step 14:
The number 78 fits into 620 7 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5887.67948717
Deduct 546 from 620 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 5887.67948717 and a remainder of 7.4e-08.
