Let's divide 229899 by 78
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 229899.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 22 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 229 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 229 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 73.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 156 from 229 and we're left with 73.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 738 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
738 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 36.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 702 from 738 to get 36.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 369 / 78

Step 5:
The number 78 fits into 369 4 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 294.0
If we take 312 away from 369, we end up with 57.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 57, then repeat: 579 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 579 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2947.0
Deduct 546 from 579 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 7:
78 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2947.4
If we take 312 away from 330, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 180 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2947.42
Subtracting 156 from 180 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 78 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2947.423
Deduct 234 from 240 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 60 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2947.423
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
600 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2947.42307
Deduct 546 from 600 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
78 can be fit into 540 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2947.423076
Deduct 468 from 540 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 720 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2947.4230769
Deduct 702 from 720 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 78 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2947.42307692
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 156 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2947.42307692, and the remainder is 2.4e-08.
