We divide 254437 by 78
Our goal is to divide 254437 by 78.

Advancing 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
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 254 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
78 goes into 254 3 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 234 from 254, we get 20.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 204 / 78

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 204 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 156 from 204, we get 48.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 483 / 78

On to step 5:
78 goes into 483 6 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 326.0
If we subtract 468 from 483, we get 15.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 157 / 78

On to step 6:
157 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3262.0
If we subtract 156 from 157, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
78 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3262.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3262.01
If we subtract 78 from 100, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 220 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3262.012
Subtracting 156 from 220 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 640 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3262.0128
Subtracting 624 from 640 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
When dividing 160 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3262.01282
Subtract 156 from 160 to 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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 40 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3262.01282
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
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: 3262.0128205
If we subtract 390 from 400, we get 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 14:
78 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3262.01282051
If we subtract 78 from 100, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3262.01282051 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
