262361 divided by 78 
Our goal is to divide 262361 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
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 78

On to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 262 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
262 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 28.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 234 away from 262, we end up with 28.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 283 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
78 can be fit into 283 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtracting 234 from 283 leaves us with 49.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 496 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 496 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 336.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 468 from 496.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 281 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 281 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3363.0
Subtracting 234 from 281 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
470 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3363.6
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 468 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
20 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3363.6
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
78 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3363.602
Subtracting 156 from 200 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 440 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3363.6025
Subtracting 390 from 440 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3363.60256
If we take 468 away from 500, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 320 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3363.602564
Deduct 312 from 320 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3363.6025641
Deduct 78 from 80 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
20 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3363.6025641
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3363.6025641 with a remaining 2e-08.
