Let's divide 178544 by 78
Our goal is to divide 178544 by 78.

On to step 1:
78 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
78 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 178 / 78

Step 3:
178 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 156 away from 178, we end up with 22.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 225 / 78

Step 4:
78 goes into 225 2 times with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 156 from 225.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 694 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
78 goes into 694 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 228.0
If we subtract 624 from 694, we get 70.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 704 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 704 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2289.0
Deduct 702 from 704 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
78 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2289.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2289.02
If we subtract 156 from 200, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2289.025
Subtracting 390 from 440 leaves us with 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 10:
78 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2289.0256
If we take 468 away from 500, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
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: 2289.02564
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 312 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
78 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2289.025641
If we subtract 78 from 80, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
20 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2289.025641
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 200 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2289.02564102
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.

Our division results in 2289.02564102 with a remaining 4.4e-08.
