We look at the division of 266456 by 78 
We want to divide 266456 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
78 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 78

On to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 266 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 266 3 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 234 from 266 leaves us with 32.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 324 / 78

On to step 4:
78 goes into 324 4 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 312 from 324.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 125 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 125 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 47.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 341.0
If we take 78 away from 125, we end up with 47.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 476 / 78

Step 6:
476 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3416.0
If we take 468 away from 476, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3416.1
If we take 78 away from 80, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3416.1
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
200 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3416.102
Subtracting 156 from 200 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
78 goes into 440 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3416.1025
Subtract 390 from 440 to get 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 11:
78 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3416.10256
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 468 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 12:
78 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3416.102564
If we take 312 away from 320, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 80 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3416.1025641
Deduct 78 from 80 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
20 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3416.1025641
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3416.1025641 and a remainder of 2e-08.
