We're dividing 78730485 by 298 
We want to divide 78730485 by 298.

On to step 1:
298 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 298

Step 2:
298 goes into 78 0 times with a remainder of 78.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 78 to get 78.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 78 and continue: 787 / 298

Advancing to step 3:
The number 298 fits into 787 2 times, leaving a remainder of 191.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 596 from 787, we get 191.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 191 and continue with: 1913 / 298

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 298 fits into 1913 6 times, leaving a remainder of 125.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 1788 from 1913, we get 125.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 125, then carry on: 1250 / 298

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 298 fits into 1250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 264.0
Subtracting 1192 from 1250 leaves us with 58.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 584 / 298

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 584 by 298, we get 1 with a remainder of 286.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2641.0
Deduct 298 from 584 and we're left with 286.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 286 and continue: 2868 / 298

Let's proceed to step 7:
298 goes into 2868 9 times with a remainder of 186.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26419.0
Subtract 2682 from 2868 to get 186.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 186, then repeat: 1865 / 298

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 1865 by 298, we get 6 with a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 264196.0
Subtracting 1788 from 1865 leaves us with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 770 by 298, we get 2 and a remainder of 174.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 264196.2
Subtract 596 from 770 to get 174.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 298 fits into 1740 5 times, leaving a remainder of 250.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 264196.25
Subtract 1490 from 1740 to get 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 2500 by 298, we get 8 with a remainder of 116.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 264196.258
Subtracting 2384 from 2500 leaves us with 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
1160 divided by 298 is 3 with a remainder of 266.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 264196.2583
If we subtract 894 from 1160, we get 266.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
2660 divided by 298 is 8 with a remainder of 276.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 264196.25838
Subtract 2384 from 2660 to get 276.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
298 goes into 2760 9 times with a remainder of 78.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 264196.258389
If we take 2682 away from 2760, we end up with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 298 fits into 780 2 times, leaving a remainder of 184.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 264196.2583892
If we subtract 596 from 780, we get 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
298 goes into 1840 6 times with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 264196.25838926
If we subtract 1788 from 1840, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 264196.25838926 and a remainder of 5.2e-08.
