53865 divided by 78 
We want to divide 53865 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
78 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 78

Step 2:
The number 78 fits into 53 0 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 53, we get 53.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 538 / 78

On to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 538 6 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 468 away from 538, we end up with 70.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 706 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 706 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 69.0
If we subtract 702 from 706, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 78

On to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 45 0 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 690.0
If we take 0 away from 45, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
78 can be fit into 450 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 690.5
If we take 390 away from 450, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 690.57
Deduct 546 from 600 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 540 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 72.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 690.576
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 468 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 720 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 690.5769
If we take 702 away from 720, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 690.57692
Subtracting 156 from 180 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
78 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 690.576923
Deduct 234 from 240 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
60 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 690.576923
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 600 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 54.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 690.57692307
Subtracting 546 from 600 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Our division results in 690.57692307 with a remaining 5.4e-08.
