296870 divided by 78 
We want to divide 296870 by 78.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 78

Step 2:
78 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 296 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 296 3 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 234 from 296 to get 62.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 628 / 78

On to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 628 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 624 from 628.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 78

On to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 380.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 470 / 78

Step 6:
78 goes into 470 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3806.0
Deduct 468 from 470 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3806.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3806.02
Deduct 156 from 200 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
78 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3806.025
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 390 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3806.0256
If we subtract 468 from 500, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3806.02564
If we take 312 away from 320, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 12:
78 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3806.025641
If we subtract 78 from 80, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
78 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3806.025641
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 200 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3806.02564102
If we take 156 away from 200, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The final result is 3806.02564102 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
