Let's divide 556706 by 78
We want to divide 556706 by 78.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
78 can be fit into 55 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 55 and we're left with 55.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 556 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
78 can be fit into 556 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 546 from 556 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 107 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 107 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71.0
If we subtract 78 from 107, we get 29.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 290 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
290 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 713.0
Subtract 234 from 290 to get 56.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 566 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
78 can be fit into 566 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7137.0
Subtract 546 from 566 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
78 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7137.2
Deduct 156 from 200 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
78 goes into 440 5 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7137.25
Subtracting 390 from 440 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
500 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7137.256
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 468 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7137.2564
If we subtract 312 from 320, we get 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 11:
If we divide 80 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7137.25641
Deduct 78 from 80 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7137.25641
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 200 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7137.2564102
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 156 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
78 goes into 440 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7137.25641025
If we take 390 away from 440, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7137.25641025 with a remaining 5e-08.
