We want to divide 72803072 by 978.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 978 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 978

Advancing to step 2:
72 divided by 978 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 72 leaves us with 72.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 728 / 978

On to step 3:
The number 978 fits into 728 0 times, leaving a remainder of 728.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 728 leaves us with 728.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 728 and repeat the process: 7280 / 978

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 978 fits into 7280 7 times, leaving a remainder of 434.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 434 after subtracting 6846 from 7280.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 434, then repeat: 4343 / 978

Let's proceed to step 5:
978 can be fit into 4343 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 431.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74.0
Subtract 3912 from 4343 to get 431.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 431, then repeat: 4310 / 978

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 4310 by 978, we get 4 with a remainder of 398.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 744.0
Subtracting 3912 from 4310 leaves us with 398.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 398, then repeat: 3987 / 978

Moving on to step 7:
The number 978 fits into 3987 4 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7444.0
Deduct 3912 from 3987 and we're left with 75.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 75, then carry on: 752 / 978

On to step 8:
The number 978 fits into 752 0 times, leaving a remainder of 752.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 74440.0
The remainder is 752 after subtracting 0 from 752.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
7520 divided by 978 is 7 with a remainder of 674.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74440.7
The remainder is 674 after subtracting 6846 from 7520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6740, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
978 can be fit into 6740 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 872.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74440.76
Subtracting 5868 from 6740 leaves us with 872.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
8720 divided by 978 is 8 with a remainder of 896.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74440.768
Subtracting 7824 from 8720 leaves us with 896.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
978 goes into 8960 9 times with a remainder of 158.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74440.7689
Subtracting 8802 from 8960 leaves us with 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 1580 by 978, we get 1 and a remainder of 602.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74440.76891
Subtracting 978 from 1580 leaves us with 602.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6020, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
6020 divided by 978 is 6 with a remainder of 152.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74440.768916
If we subtract 5868 from 6020, we get 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Step 15:
978 can be fit into 1520 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 542.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74440.7689161
Subtracting 978 from 1520 leaves us with 542.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
5420 divided by 978 is 5 with a remainder of 530.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74440.76891615
If we take 4890 away from 5420, we end up with 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5300, and continue the process.

The final result is 74440.76891615 with a remainder of 5.3e-07.
