We look at the division of 262988 by 78 
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 262988.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 262 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
78 goes into 262 3 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 234 from 262, we get 28.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 289 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 289 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 55.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33.0
Deduct 234 from 289 and we're left with 55.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 558 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 558 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 337.0
Subtract 546 from 558 to get 12.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 128 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 128 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 50.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3371.0
If we subtract 78 from 128, 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.

On to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3371.6
If we subtract 468 from 500, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 320 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3371.64
Subtracting 312 from 320 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
78 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3371.641
If we take 78 away from 80, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
78 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3371.641
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
78 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3371.64102
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 156 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 440 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3371.641025
If we subtract 390 from 440, 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.

Moving on to step 13:
78 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3371.6410256
If we subtract 468 from 500, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 78 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3371.64102564
If we take 312 away from 320, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3371.64102564, and the remainder is 8e-09.
