We're dividing 231816 by 78 
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 231816.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 231 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 231 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 75.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 156 from 231.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 75, then repeat: 758 / 78

Moving on to step 4:
758 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 56.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 702 from 758 to get 56.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 561 / 78

Step 5:
561 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 297.0
Deduct 546 from 561 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 156 / 78

On to step 6:
78 can be fit into 156 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2972.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 156 from 156.
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:
If we divide 0 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2972.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2972.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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 final result is 2972.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
