We're dividing 298449 by 78 
We want to divide 298449 by 78.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
78 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 298 / 78

On to step 3:
78 goes into 298 3 times with a remainder of 64.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 234 from 298 and we're left with 64.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 644 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 644 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtract 624 from 644 to get 20.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 204 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 204 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 382.0
Deduct 156 from 204 and we're left with 48.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 489 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
78 can be fit into 489 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3826.0
Deduct 468 from 489 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
78 can be fit into 210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3826.2
If we take 156 away from 210, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
540 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3826.26
If we take 468 away from 540, we end up 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 720 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3826.269
Subtract 702 from 720 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 180 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3826.2692
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 240 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3826.26923
Deduct 234 from 240 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
60 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3826.26923
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
78 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3826.2692307
Deduct 546 from 600 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
78 goes into 540 6 times with a remainder of 72.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3826.26923076
Subtracting 468 from 540 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.

Our division results in 3826.26923076 with a remaining 7.2e-08.
