131812 ÷ 78 
Our goal is to divide 131812 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 13 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
78 can be fit into 13 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 13 to get 13.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 131 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 131 1 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 78 from 131 to get 53.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 538 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
538 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 468 from 538 to get 70.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 701 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 701 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 77.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 168.0
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 624 from 701.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 77, then carry on: 772 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 772 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 70.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1689.0
If we take 702 away from 772, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 700 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 76.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1689.8
If we subtract 624 from 700, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
78 goes into 760 9 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1689.89
If we subtract 702 from 760, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 9:
580 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1689.897
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 546 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
340 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1689.8974
Deduct 312 from 340 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
280 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1689.89743
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 234 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 460 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1689.897435
Subtracting 390 from 460 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
700 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1689.8974358
Subtracting 624 from 700 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
78 goes into 760 9 times with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1689.89743589
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 702 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1689.89743589 with a remaining 5.8e-08.
