Let's divide 218745 by 78
We want to figure out the number of times 218745 can be divided by 78.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 78

Advancing 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
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 218 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
218 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 62.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 156 from 218.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 627 / 78

On to step 4:
78 can be fit into 627 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 624 from 627 to get 3.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 34 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 34.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 280.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 0 from 34.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 345 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 345 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 33.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2804.0
Deduct 312 from 345 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
78 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2804.4
Deduct 312 from 330 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
78 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2804.42
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
240 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2804.423
Deduct 234 from 240 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
60 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2804.423
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2804.42307
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 546 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
78 goes into 540 6 times with a remainder of 72.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2804.423076
Subtracting 468 from 540 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 78 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2804.4230769
Deduct 702 from 720 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
180 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2804.42307692
If we subtract 156 from 180, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 2804.42307692 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
