We divide 212711 by 78
Our goal is to divide 212711 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
78 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 212 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
212 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 156 from 212 to get 56.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 567 / 78

Step 4:
78 can be fit into 567 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 546 away from 567, we end up with 21.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 211 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
78 goes into 211 2 times with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 272.0
If we subtract 156 from 211, we get 55.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 551 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
78 can be fit into 551 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2727.0
Deduct 546 from 551 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 50 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2727.0
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 500 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2727.06
Subtracting 468 from 500 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 9:
The number 78 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2727.064
If we subtract 312 from 320, we 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.

Advancing to step 10:
80 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2727.0641
Subtract 78 from 80 to 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 11:
If we divide 20 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2727.0641
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

On to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2727.064102
If we take 156 away from 200, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
78 goes into 440 5 times with a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2727.0641025
Subtracting 390 from 440 leaves us 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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 500 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2727.06410256
Deduct 468 from 500 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 2727.06410256 and a remainder of 3.2e-08.
