Let's divide 279481 by 78
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 279481.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 279 / 78

On to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 279 3 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 234 from 279 to get 45.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 454 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 454 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 390 from 454 and we're left with 64.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 648 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 goes into 648 8 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 358.0
If we take 624 away from 648, we end up with 24.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 241 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
241 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3583.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 234 from 241.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
78 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3583.0
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
78 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3583.08
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.

Advancing to step 9:
78 can be fit into 760 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3583.089
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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3583.0897
If we take 546 away from 580, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 340 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3583.08974
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 312 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 280 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3583.089743
Subtracting 234 from 280 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
460 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3583.0897435
Subtract 390 from 460 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 700 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 76.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3583.08974358
Subtract 624 from 700 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 3583.08974358 and a remainder of 7.6e-08.
