We divide 212901 by 78
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 212901.

Going ahead to step 1:
78 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 212 / 78

On to step 3:
78 goes into 212 2 times with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 156 from 212.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 569 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 569 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 546 from 569 leaves us with 23.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 230 / 78

Step 5:
The number 78 fits into 230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 272.0
Deduct 156 from 230 and we're left with 74.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 741 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
78 can be fit into 741 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2729.0
Deduct 702 from 741 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 390 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2729.5
Subtract 390 from 390 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 78 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2729.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
0 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2729.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2729.5 with a remaining 0.0.
