We divide 788534 by 304
Our goal is to divide 788534 by 304.

On to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 304, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 304

Step 2:
304 goes into 78 0 times with a remainder of 78.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 78 leaves us with 78.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 78 and repeat the process: 788 / 304

Moving on to step 3:
The number 304 fits into 788 2 times, leaving a remainder of 180.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 608 from 788 to get 180.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 180, then carry on: 1805 / 304

Going ahead to step 4:
1805 divided by 304 is 5 with a remainder of 285.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 1520 from 1805 leaves us with 285.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 285 and continue with: 2853 / 304

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 304 fits into 2853 9 times, leaving a remainder of 117.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 259.0
The remainder is 117 after subtracting 2736 from 2853.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 117 and repeat the process: 1174 / 304

Moving on to step 6:
304 can be fit into 1174 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 262.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2593.0
If we subtract 912 from 1174, we get 262.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2620, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 304 fits into 2620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 188.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2593.8
The remainder is 188 after subtracting 2432 from 2620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
304 goes into 1880 6 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2593.86
Subtracting 1824 from 1880 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
304 goes into 560 1 times with a remainder of 256.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2593.861
If we take 304 away from 560, we end up with 256.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2560, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
2560 divided by 304 is 8 with a remainder of 128.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2593.8618
If we take 2432 away from 2560, we end up with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 304 fits into 1280 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2593.86184
Deduct 1216 from 1280 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 304 fits into 640 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2593.861842
Subtracting 608 from 640 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 304, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2593.8618421
If we take 304 away from 320, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 304, we get 0 with a remainder of 160.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2593.8618421
The remainder is 160 after subtracting 0 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

The final result is 2593.8618421 with a remainder of 1.6e-07.
