972616 divided by 78 
Our goal is to divide 972616 by 78.

Step 1:
78 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
78 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 78 from 97 to get 19.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 192 / 78

Step 3:
The number 78 fits into 192 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 156 away from 192, we end up with 36.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 366 / 78

On to step 4:
When dividing 366 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 124.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 312 from 366.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 541 / 78

Step 5:
If we divide 541 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1246.0
If we take 468 away from 541, we end up with 73.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 736 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 736 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12469.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 702 from 736.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 340 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12469.4
Subtracting 312 from 340 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 280 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 46.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12469.43
If we take 234 away from 280, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 460 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12469.435
Subtract 390 from 460 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 10:
78 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12469.4358
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 624 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 760 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 58.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12469.43589
If we take 702 away from 760, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 580 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12469.435897
Subtracting 546 from 580 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
78 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12469.4358974
Deduct 312 from 340 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 280 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12469.43589743
If we subtract 234 from 280, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12469.43589743 with a balance of 4.6e-08.
