178047 divided by 78 
We want to divide 178047 by 78.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
78 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 178 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 156 from 178.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 220 / 78

On to step 4:
78 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtracting 156 from 220 leaves us with 64.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 644 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
644 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 228.0
If we take 624 away from 644, we end up with 20.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 207 / 78

Step 6:
207 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2282.0
If we subtract 156 from 207, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
78 can be fit into 510 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2282.6
If we take 468 away from 510, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 420 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2282.65
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 390 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 300 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 66.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2282.653
Subtracting 234 from 300 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2282.6538
Subtracting 624 from 660 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 360 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2282.65384
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 312 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 480 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2282.653846
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 468 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
78 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2282.6538461
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 78 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 420 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2282.65384615
If we take 390 away from 420, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final result is 2282.65384615 with a remainder of 3e-08.
