We divide 507539 by 78
We want to figure out the number of times 507539 can be divided by 78.

Step 1:
5 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 507 / 78

Step 3:
78 goes into 507 6 times with a remainder of 39.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 468 from 507.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 395 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 395 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 65.0
Subtract 390 from 395 to get 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
78 goes into 53 0 times with a remainder of 53.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 650.0
Deduct 0 from 53 and we're left with 53.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 539 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 539 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 71.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6506.0
Deduct 468 from 539 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 710 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6506.9
If we subtract 702 from 710, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
80 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6506.91
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 78 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 20 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6506.91
Subtract 0 from 20 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.

Step 10:
The number 78 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6506.9102
Subtracting 156 from 200 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 440 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6506.91025
Subtract 390 from 440 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 500 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6506.910256
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
320 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6506.9102564
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 312 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
80 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6506.91025641
Subtracting 78 from 80 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6506.91025641 with a balance of 2e-09.
