We look at the division of 281747 by 78 
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 281747.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 78, we get 0 with 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.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 78

On to step 2:
78 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 281 / 78

Step 3:
78 can be fit into 281 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 234 from 281 to get 47.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 477 / 78

On to step 4:
When dividing 477 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 9.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtract 468 from 477 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 94 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
78 goes into 94 1 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 361.0
If we take 78 away from 94, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
78 goes into 167 2 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3612.0
Subtracting 156 from 167 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
78 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3612.1
Subtracting 78 from 110 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3612.14
Subtract 312 from 320 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3612.141
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 10:
When dividing 20 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3612.141
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3612.14102
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 156 from 200.
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 12:
When dividing 440 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3612.141025
Deduct 390 from 440 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 78 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3612.1410256
If we take 468 away from 500, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 320 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3612.14102564
Subtract 312 from 320 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3612.14102564 and a remainder of 8e-09.
