We look at the division of 231878 by 76 
Our goal is to divide 231878 by 76.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 76 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 76

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 76, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 231 / 76

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 231 by 76, we get 3 and a remainder of 3.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 228 from 231, we get 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 76

Going ahead to step 4:
76 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 0 from 38.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 387 / 76

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 387 by 76, we get 5 with a remainder of 7.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 305.0
If we subtract 380 from 387, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 76

Moving on to step 6:
78 divided by 76 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3051.0
If we take 76 away from 78, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 76, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3051.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 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 8:
76 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3051.02
Subtract 152 from 200 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 480 by 76, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3051.026
Subtract 456 from 480 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 76, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3051.0263
Subtracting 228 from 240 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 76, we get 1 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3051.02631
If we take 76 away from 120, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 440 by 76, we get 5 and a remainder of 60.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3051.026315
Subtract 380 from 440 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 600 by 76, we get 7 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3051.0263157
If we take 532 away from 600, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 76 fits into 680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3051.02631578
Subtracting 608 from 680 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3051.02631578 and a remainder of 7.2e-08.
