279755 ÷ 78 
Our goal is to divide 279755 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
78 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
27 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 279 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 279 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 234 from 279, we get 45.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 457 / 78

Step 4:
78 goes into 457 5 times with a remainder of 67.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 390 from 457 and we're left with 67.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 67 and continue: 675 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
78 goes into 675 8 times with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 358.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 624 from 675.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 515 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
515 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 47.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3586.0
If we subtract 468 from 515, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
78 can be fit into 470 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3586.6
Deduct 468 from 470 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3586.6
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
200 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3586.602
Deduct 156 from 200 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 440 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3586.6025
Deduct 390 from 440 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
78 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3586.60256
If we subtract 468 from 500, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 12:
78 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3586.602564
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 312 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
78 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3586.6025641
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 78 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3586.6025641
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 3586.6025641 with a remainder of 2e-08.
