Let's divide 255261 by 78
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 255261.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 78

On to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 255 / 78

On to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 255 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 234 from 255 and we're left with 21.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 212 / 78

On to step 4:
When dividing 212 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 156 from 212, we get 56.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 566 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
78 can be fit into 566 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 327.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 546 from 566.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 201 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 201 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3272.0
Deduct 156 from 201 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
450 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3272.5
Subtracting 390 from 450 leaves us with 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 8:
600 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3272.57
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.

On to step 9:
540 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3272.576
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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 720 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3272.5769
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.

Advancing to step 11:
78 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3272.57692
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.

Step 12:
78 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3272.576923
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.

Step 13:
60 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3272.576923
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.

Step 14:
600 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3272.57692307
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.

After the division, we end up with 3272.57692307 and a remainder of 5.4e-08.
