We look at the division of 494961 by 78 
Our goal is to divide 494961 by 78.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 78

On to step 2:
78 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 494 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 494 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 26.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 468 from 494 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 269 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 269 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 234 from 269.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 356 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 goes into 356 4 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 634.0
If we subtract 312 from 356, we get 44.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 441 / 78

On to step 6:
441 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 51.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6345.0
Subtracting 390 from 441 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 510 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6345.6
Subtracting 468 from 510 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
78 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6345.65
Subtract 390 from 420 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
78 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 66.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6345.653
Subtracting 234 from 300 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6345.6538
Deduct 624 from 660 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 360 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6345.65384
Deduct 312 from 360 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6345.653846
Subtracting 468 from 480 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
78 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6345.6538461
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 78 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
420 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6345.65384615
If we take 390 away from 420, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6345.65384615 and a remainder of 3e-08.
