Let's divide 159247 by 78
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 159247.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 78

On to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 159 / 78

On to step 3:
159 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 3.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 156 from 159, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 32 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
78 goes into 32 0 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 32 to get 32.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 324 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
78 can be fit into 324 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 204.0
If we take 312 away from 324, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 127 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
127 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2041.0
Subtract 78 from 127 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
78 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2041.6
Subtracting 468 from 490 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
78 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2041.62
Deduct 156 from 220 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 640 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2041.628
If we take 624 away from 640, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
160 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2041.6282
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2041.6282
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2041.628205
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 390 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 100 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2041.6282051
If we take 78 away from 100, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 78 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2041.62820512
If we take 156 away from 220, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 2041.62820512, with a leftover of 6.4e-08.
