We divide 148 by 78
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 148.

On to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 78

Step 3:
If we divide 148 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 70.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 78 from 148, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 4:
If we divide 700 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1.8
If we subtract 624 from 700, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 5:
78 can be fit into 760 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.89
Subtracting 702 from 760 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
78 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.897
Subtract 546 from 580 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 7:
340 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.8974
If we take 312 away from 340, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.89743
Subtracting 234 from 280 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 460 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.897435
Subtracting 390 from 460 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
78 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.8974358
Subtracting 624 from 700 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
78 goes into 760 9 times with a remainder of 58.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.89743589
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 702 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1.89743589 with a remaining 5.8e-08.
