We're dividing 286494 by 78 
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 286494.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
78 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 286 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 286 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 52.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 234 from 286 leaves us with 52.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 524 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 524 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we take 468 away from 524, we end up with 56.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 569 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 569 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 367.0
If we take 546 away from 569, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 234 / 78

Step 6:
If we divide 234 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3673.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 234 from 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3673.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3673.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3673.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
