Let's divide 229746 by 78
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 229746.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
78 goes into 22 0 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up with 22.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 229 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 229 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 73.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 156 from 229, we get 73.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 737 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
737 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 702 from 737 leaves us with 35.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 354 / 78

Step 5:
78 goes into 354 4 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 294.0
If we subtract 312 from 354, we get 42.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 426 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 426 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2945.0
Deduct 390 from 426 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 360 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2945.4
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 312 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 480 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2945.46
If we take 468 away from 480, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2945.461
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 78 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
420 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2945.4615
Deduct 390 from 420 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 300 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 66.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2945.46153
Subtract 234 from 300 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
660 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2945.461538
Subtracting 624 from 660 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
78 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2945.4615384
If we take 312 away from 360, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
78 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2945.46153846
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 468 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final result is 2945.46153846 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
