299964 divided by 78 
We want to divide 299964 by 78.

Step 1:
2 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 299 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
78 can be fit into 299 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 234 from 299 leaves us with 65.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 65 and repeat the process: 659 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
659 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 35.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 624 from 659 leaves us with 35.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 356 / 78

Step 5:
If we divide 356 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 384.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 312 from 356.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 444 / 78

Step 6:
444 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 54.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3845.0
If we take 390 away from 444, we end up 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 7:
540 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 72.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3845.6
If we subtract 468 from 540, we get 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 8:
When dividing 720 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3845.69
Subtract 702 from 720 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 9:
The number 78 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3845.692
Subtract 156 from 180 to 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.

On to step 10:
78 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3845.6923
Deduct 234 from 240 and we're left with 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 11:
If we divide 60 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3845.6923
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
78 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3845.692307
If we take 546 away from 600, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
540 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 72.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3845.6923076
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.

On to step 14:
78 goes into 720 9 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3845.69230769
If we take 702 away from 720, we end up 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.

Our division results in 3845.69230769 with a remaining 1.8e-08.
