156088 ÷ 78 
We want to figure out the number of times 156088 can be divided by 78.

Step 1:
1 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 78

Step 2:
78 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 156 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 156 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 156 from 156 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 0 / 78

On to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 78

On to step 5:
78 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 200.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 88 1 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2001.0
Subtract 78 from 88 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2001.1
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 78 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 78 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2001.12
If we take 156 away from 220, we end up 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 9:
78 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2001.128
Subtract 624 from 640 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2001.1282
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 11:
78 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2001.1282
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2001.128205
Subtract 390 from 400 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2001.1282051
Subtract 78 from 100 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 220 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2001.12820512
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 156 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2001.12820512 and a remainder of 6.4e-08.
