742991 divided by 78 
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 742991.

Let's proceed to step 1:
78 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
78 can be fit into 74 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 74 leaves us with 74.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 742 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 742 9 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 702 from 742.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 409 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
78 goes into 409 5 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 95.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 390 from 409.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 199 / 78

Step 5:
199 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 952.0
If we take 156 away from 199, we end up with 43.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 431 / 78

On to step 6:
431 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9525.0
If we subtract 390 from 431, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 410 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9525.5
Deduct 390 from 410 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
200 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9525.52
If we take 156 away from 200, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9525.525
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 390 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
78 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9525.5256
If we take 468 away from 500, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 9525.52564
Deduct 312 from 320 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
78 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9525.525641
Subtract 78 from 80 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 20 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9525.525641
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 200 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9525.52564102
Subtract 156 from 200 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9525.52564102 with a remaining 4.4e-08.
