We're dividing 1533462 by 78 
Our goal is to divide 1533462 by 78.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 78

Step 2:
If we divide 15 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 153 / 78

Step 3:
If we divide 153 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 78 from 153 and we're left with 75.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 75, then repeat: 753 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
78 can be fit into 753 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 702 from 753.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 514 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 514 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 196.0
Subtracting 468 from 514 leaves us with 46.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 466 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
78 can be fit into 466 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1965.0
If we take 390 away from 466, we end up with 76.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 76 and repeat the process: 762 / 78

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 762 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19659.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 702 from 762.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19659.7
Deduct 546 from 600 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 540 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 72.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19659.76
Deduct 468 from 540 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19659.769
If we subtract 702 from 720, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
78 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19659.7692
If we subtract 156 from 180, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 240 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19659.76923
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 234 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
78 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19659.76923
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 14:
78 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19659.7692307
Deduct 546 from 600 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
78 goes into 540 6 times with a remainder of 72.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19659.76923076
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 468 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 19659.76923076 and a remainder of 7.2e-08.
