We divide 231340 by 978
We're looking to find how many times 978 goes into 231340.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 978 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 978

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 978, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 978

Step 3:
If we divide 231 by 978, we get 0 and a remainder of 231.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 231 leaves us with 231.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 231 and continue: 2313 / 978

Advancing to step 4:
978 goes into 2313 2 times with a remainder of 357.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 357 after subtracting 1956 from 2313.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 357 and continue with: 3574 / 978

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 978 fits into 3574 3 times, leaving a remainder of 640.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 2934 from 3574, we get 640.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 640, then repeat: 6400 / 978

On to step 6:
If we divide 6400 by 978, we get 6 and a remainder of 532.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 236.0
Subtract 5868 from 6400 to get 532.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
5320 divided by 978 is 5 with a remainder of 430.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 236.5
If we take 4890 away from 5320, we end up with 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 4300 by 978, we get 4 with a remainder of 388.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 236.54
The remainder is 388 after subtracting 3912 from 4300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3880, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 3880 by 978, we get 3 and a remainder of 946.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 236.543
Deduct 2934 from 3880 and we're left with 946.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
978 goes into 9460 9 times with a remainder of 658.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 236.5439
Subtract 8802 from 9460 to get 658.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
6580 divided by 978 is 6 with a remainder of 712.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 236.54396
Subtract 5868 from 6580 to get 712.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
978 can be fit into 7120 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 274.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 236.543967
Subtract 6846 from 7120 to get 274.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 978 fits into 2740 2 times, leaving a remainder of 784.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 236.5439672
If we subtract 1956 from 2740, we get 784.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7840, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 7840 by 978, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 236.54396728
If we subtract 7824 from 7840, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 236.54396728 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
