229462 ÷ 78 
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 229462.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
78 goes into 22 0 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 22, we get 22.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 229 / 78

On to step 3:
78 goes into 229 2 times with a remainder of 73.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 156 from 229.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 734 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 734 9 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 702 from 734 to get 32.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 326 / 78

Step 5:
If we divide 326 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 294.0
Deduct 312 from 326 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 142 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
142 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 64.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2941.0
Deduct 78 from 142 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
640 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2941.8
Subtracting 624 from 640 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 160 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2941.82
Subtracting 156 from 160 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2941.82
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.

Moving on to step 10:
78 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2941.8205
Deduct 390 from 400 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
100 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2941.82051
Subtracting 78 from 100 leaves us with 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 12:
If we divide 220 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2941.820512
Deduct 156 from 220 and we're left 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 13:
78 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2941.8205128
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 624 from 640.
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 14:
The number 78 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2941.82051282
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.

The final result is 2941.82051282 with a remainder of 4e-09.
