298596 ÷ 78 
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 298596.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
78 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 298 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
78 can be fit into 298 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 234 from 298.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 645 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
78 goes into 645 8 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 624 from 645.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 219 / 78

Step 5:
78 goes into 219 2 times with a remainder of 63.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 382.0
If we take 156 away from 219, we end up with 63.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 636 / 78

Step 6:
636 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3828.0
If we take 624 away from 636, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 120 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3828.1
Subtracting 78 from 120 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
78 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3828.15
Deduct 390 from 420 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 9:
78 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3828.153
Deduct 234 from 300 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 660 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3828.1538
Subtract 624 from 660 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
360 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3828.15384
Subtract 312 from 360 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
480 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3828.153846
If we subtract 468 from 480, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 78 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3828.1538461
Deduct 78 from 120 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 420 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3828.15384615
Subtract 390 from 420 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3828.15384615 and a remainder of 3e-08.
