We're dividing 738761 by 78 
Our goal is to divide 738761 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
78 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
78 can be fit into 73 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 73 and we're left with 73.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 738 / 78

On to step 3:
If we divide 738 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 702 from 738 leaves us with 36.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 367 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 367 4 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 94.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 312 from 367.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 556 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
78 can be fit into 556 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 947.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 546 from 556.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 101 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
101 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9471.0
If we take 78 away from 101, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 78 fits into 230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9471.2
If we subtract 156 from 230, we 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.

On to step 8:
78 goes into 740 9 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9471.29
If we take 702 away from 740, we end up 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 9:
78 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9471.294
Subtracting 312 from 380 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
78 can be fit into 680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9471.2948
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 624 from 680.
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 11:
78 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9471.29487
Subtracting 546 from 560 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 140 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9471.294871
If we subtract 78 from 140, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 78 fits into 620 7 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 9471.2948717
Subtracting 546 from 620 leaves us 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 14:
When dividing 740 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 38.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9471.29487179
If we take 702 away from 740, we end up 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.

The final result is 9471.29487179 with a remainder of 3.8e-08.
