We divide 427042 by 78
Our goal is to divide 427042 by 78.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 427 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
427 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 390 away from 427, we end up with 37.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 370 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
78 goes into 370 4 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 312 from 370, we get 58.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 584 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 584 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 547.0
Subtract 546 from 584 to get 38.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 382 / 78

On to step 6:
When dividing 382 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5474.0
If we subtract 312 from 382, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
78 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5474.8
Deduct 624 from 700 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
78 goes into 760 9 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5474.89
If we take 702 away from 760, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5474.897
If we take 546 away from 580, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
340 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5474.8974
Subtracting 312 from 340 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 280 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5474.89743
If we subtract 234 from 280, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5474.897435
Subtract 390 from 460 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 700 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5474.8974358
Subtracting 624 from 700 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 760 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 58.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5474.89743589
Subtracting 702 from 760 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5474.89743589, with a leftover of 5.8e-08.
