We divide 178731 by 65
We want to divide 178731 by 65.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 65, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 65

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 65, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 65

Step 3:
178 divided by 65 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 130 from 178, we get 48.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 487 / 65

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 487 by 65, we get 7 and a remainder of 32.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 455 from 487 to get 32.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 323 / 65

Let's proceed to step 5:
65 can be fit into 323 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 274.0
Subtracting 260 from 323 leaves us with 63.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 631 / 65

Moving on to step 6:
65 goes into 631 9 times with a remainder of 46.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2749.0
If we take 585 away from 631, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 65 fits into 460 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2749.7
Subtract 455 from 460 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
65 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2749.7
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 65 fits into 500 7 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2749.707
If we take 455 away from 500, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 450 by 65, we get 6 and a remainder of 60.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2749.7076
Deduct 390 from 450 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 65 fits into 600 9 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2749.70769
Deduct 585 from 600 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 65 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2749.707692
Deduct 130 from 150 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 65 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2749.7076923
Deduct 195 from 200 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 14:
65 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2749.7076923
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The final result is 2749.7076923 with a remainder of 5e-08.
