We're dividing 498631 by 78 
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 498631.

Advancing to step 1:
78 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
49 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 498 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
78 can be fit into 498 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 468 from 498, we get 30.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 306 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
78 can be fit into 306 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
Deduct 234 from 306 and we're left with 72.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 723 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 723 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 639.0
If we take 702 away from 723, we end up with 21.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 211 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 211 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6392.0
Subtracting 156 from 211 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
78 can be fit into 550 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6392.7
Subtracting 546 from 550 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
40 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6392.7
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6392.705
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6392.7051
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 78 from 100.
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 11:
When dividing 220 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6392.70512
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 156 from 220.
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 12:
640 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6392.705128
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 624 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
78 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6392.7051282
Subtracting 156 from 160 leaves us 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.

Step 14:
78 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6392.7051282
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6392.7051282, with a leftover of 4e-08.
