299692 ÷ 78 
We want to divide 299692 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
78 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 299 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
299 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 234 from 299, we get 65.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 65 and continue: 656 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
656 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 624 from 656.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 329 / 78

On to step 5:
78 can be fit into 329 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 384.0
Subtract 312 from 329 to get 17.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 172 / 78

On to step 6:
When dividing 172 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3842.0
If we take 156 away from 172, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
78 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3842.2
If we subtract 156 from 160, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3842.2
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3842.205
Subtracting 390 from 400 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 100 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3842.2051
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 78 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
220 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3842.20512
If we subtract 156 from 220, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 78 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3842.205128
Deduct 624 from 640 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 78 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3842.2051282
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
40 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3842.2051282
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 3842.2051282 with a remainder of 4e-08.
