178955 divided by 78 
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 178955.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
78 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 78

Step 3:
78 can be fit into 178 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 156 away from 178, we end up with 22.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 229 / 78

On to step 4:
If we divide 229 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 73.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 156 from 229 to get 73.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 735 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 735 9 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 229.0
Subtract 702 from 735 to get 33.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 335 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 335 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 23.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2294.0
Deduct 312 from 335 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
230 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2294.2
Deduct 156 from 230 and we're left with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
78 goes into 740 9 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2294.29
If we subtract 702 from 740, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
78 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2294.294
Subtract 312 from 380 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
78 can be fit into 680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2294.2948
If we take 624 away from 680, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
560 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2294.29487
Subtract 546 from 560 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 78 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2294.294871
Deduct 78 from 140 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 78 fits into 620 7 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2294.2948717
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 546 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 78 fits into 740 9 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2294.29487179
Subtract 702 from 740 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2294.29487179 with a balance of 3.8e-08.
