We divide 250488 by 78
We want to divide 250488 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 250 / 78

On to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 250 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 234 from 250, we get 16.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 164 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 164 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 156 from 164.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 88 / 78

Step 5:
If we divide 88 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 321.0
Subtracting 78 from 88 leaves us with 10.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 108 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
78 can be fit into 108 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3211.0
Subtract 78 from 108 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
78 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 66.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3211.3
Subtracting 234 from 300 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 660 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3211.38
Subtract 624 from 660 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3211.384
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 312 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
78 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3211.3846
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 468 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
78 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3211.38461
Subtracting 78 from 120 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
78 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3211.384615
If we take 390 away from 420, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 300 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 66.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3211.3846153
Subtracting 234 from 300 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 14:
660 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3211.38461538
Subtracting 624 from 660 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final result is 3211.38461538 with a remainder of 3.6e-08.
