We look at the division of 368591 by 78 
Our goal is to divide 368591 by 78.

On to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 36 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
78 goes into 36 0 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 36, we get 36.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 368 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 368 4 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 312 from 368, we get 56.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 565 / 78

Moving on to step 4:
78 goes into 565 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 546 from 565.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 199 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 199 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 472.0
If we subtract 156 from 199, we get 43.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 431 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 431 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4725.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 390 from 431.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
78 goes into 410 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4725.5
Subtract 390 from 410 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 8:
78 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4725.52
Subtract 156 from 200 to get 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 9:
When dividing 440 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4725.525
Deduct 390 from 440 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4725.5256
Subtracting 468 from 500 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
If we divide 320 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4725.52564
Subtracting 312 from 320 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 80 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4725.525641
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 20 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4725.525641
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 14:
200 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4725.52564102
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.

Our division results in 4725.52564102 with a remaining 4.4e-08.
