We're dividing 249739 by 78 
Our goal is to divide 249739 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 249 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
78 goes into 249 3 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 234 from 249.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 157 / 78

Step 4:
78 goes into 157 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 156 away from 157, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
78 goes into 13 0 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 320.0
If we take 0 away from 13, we end up with 13.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 139 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
78 can be fit into 139 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3201.0
Subtract 78 from 139 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
78 goes into 610 7 times with a remainder of 64.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3201.7
Deduct 546 from 610 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 640 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3201.78
Deduct 624 from 640 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
78 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3201.782
Subtract 156 from 160 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
78 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3201.782
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
78 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3201.78205
Deduct 390 from 400 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
78 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3201.782051
Subtracting 78 from 100 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
78 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 64.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3201.7820512
Subtracting 156 from 220 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 640 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3201.78205128
Deduct 624 from 640 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3201.78205128 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
