We divide 489042 by 78
We want to figure out the number of times 489042 can be divided by 78.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 78

Step 2:
When dividing 48 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 489 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
489 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 21.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 468 from 489, we get 21.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 210 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 210 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 54.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we take 156 away from 210, we end up with 54.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 544 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 544 6 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 626.0
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 468 from 544.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 76, then carry on: 762 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
762 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6269.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 702 from 762.
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:
78 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6269.7
Subtract 546 from 600 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 8:
540 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6269.76
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.

Advancing to step 9:
78 goes into 720 9 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6269.769
Subtracting 702 from 720 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 180 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6269.7692
If we subtract 156 from 180, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 240 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6269.76923
If we take 234 away from 240, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 60 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6269.76923
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.

On 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: 6269.7692307
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
78 can be fit into 540 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6269.76923076
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6269.76923076 with a balance of 7.2e-08.
