We're dividing 997981 by 78 
We want to figure out the number of times 997981 can be divided by 78.

Advancing to step 1:
9 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 99 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 78 away from 99, we end up with 21.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 217 2 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 156 from 217.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 619 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 619 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 127.0
Deduct 546 from 619 and we're left with 73.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 738 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
738 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 36.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1279.0
If we subtract 702 from 738, we get 36.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 361 / 78

Step 6:
78 can be fit into 361 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12794.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 312 from 361.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12794.6
Subtracting 468 from 490 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12794.62
If we subtract 156 from 220, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
640 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12794.628
If we subtract 624 from 640, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
160 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12794.6282
If we take 156 away from 160, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
78 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12794.6282
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 400 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12794.628205
If we take 390 away from 400, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
78 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12794.6282051
Subtract 78 from 100 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
78 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 64.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12794.62820512
Deduct 156 from 220 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final result is 12794.62820512 with a remainder of 6.4e-08.
