Let's divide 21296 by 78
Our goal is to divide 21296 by 78.

Moving on to 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
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 212 / 78

Step 3:
When dividing 212 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 56.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 156 from 212.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 569 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
78 can be fit into 569 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 546 away from 569, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 236 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
78 goes into 236 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 273.0
Subtracting 234 from 236 leaves us 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.

Step 6:
78 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 273.0
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 273.02
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 440 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 273.025
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.

Step 9:
500 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 273.0256
If we subtract 468 from 500, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 78 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 273.02564
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 273.025641
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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 20 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 273.025641
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 200 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 273.02564102
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.

After the division, we end up with 273.02564102 and a remainder of 4.4e-08.
