Let's divide 179860 by 78
We want to divide 179860 by 78.

Moving on to step 1:
78 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 78

On to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 179 / 78

Step 3:
When dividing 179 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 23.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 156 away from 179, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 238 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 238 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we take 234 away from 238, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 78

On to step 5:
When dividing 46 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 230.0
Subtracting 0 from 46 leaves us with 46.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 460 / 78

Step 6:
78 goes into 460 5 times with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2305.0
If we subtract 390 from 460, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
78 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2305.8
If we subtract 624 from 700, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 760 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2305.89
Subtract 702 from 760 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 580 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2305.897
If we subtract 546 from 580, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 340 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2305.8974
If we subtract 312 from 340, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2305.89743
Subtract 234 from 280 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 78 fits into 460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2305.897435
Subtract 390 from 460 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 700 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2305.8974358
If we take 624 away from 700, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 14:
760 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2305.89743589
Subtracting 702 from 760 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2305.89743589, and the remainder is 5.8e-08.
