We divide 978543 by 78
Our goal is to divide 978543 by 78.

Advancing to step 1:
78 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
78 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 78 from 97, we get 19.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 198 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
198 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 42.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 156 from 198.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 425 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
425 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 125.0
Deduct 390 from 425 and we're left with 35.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 354 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
354 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1254.0
If we take 312 away from 354, we end up with 42.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 423 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
423 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12545.0
Deduct 390 from 423 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 330 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12545.4
Subtract 312 from 330 to 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 8:
The number 78 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12545.42
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
78 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12545.423
Subtract 234 from 240 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 60 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12545.423
Subtract 0 from 60 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
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: 12545.42307
Subtract 546 from 600 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
78 goes into 540 6 times with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12545.423076
If we take 468 away from 540, we end up 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.

Step 13:
When dividing 720 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12545.4230769
Subtracting 702 from 720 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
180 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12545.42307692
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 12545.42307692 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
