260554 divided by 78 
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 260554.

Step 1:
78 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 78

Step 2:
26 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 260 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
260 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 234 from 260.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 265 / 78

Moving on to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 265 3 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtracting 234 from 265 leaves us with 31.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 315 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 315 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 3.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 334.0
If we subtract 312 from 315, we get 3.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 34 0 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3340.0
If we subtract 0 from 34, 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 340 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3340.4
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 8:
78 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 46.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3340.43
Subtracting 234 from 280 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 460 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3340.435
If we take 390 away from 460, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 700 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3340.4358
Subtract 624 from 700 to 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.

On to step 11:
78 goes into 760 9 times with a remainder of 58.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3340.43589
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 702 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
78 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3340.435897
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 13:
340 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3340.4358974
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 312 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 280 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3340.43589743
Deduct 234 from 280 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3340.43589743, with a leftover of 4.6e-08.
