248174 ÷ 78 
Our goal is to divide 248174 by 78.

Step 1:
78 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 248 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 248 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 234 from 248 and we're left with 14.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 141 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
78 goes into 141 1 times with a remainder of 63.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
Deduct 78 from 141 and we're left with 63.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 637 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
637 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 13.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 318.0
If we subtract 624 from 637, we get 13.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 134 / 78

Step 6:
When dividing 134 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3181.0
If we take 78 away from 134, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
78 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3181.7
If we subtract 546 from 560, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
140 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 62.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3181.71
Deduct 78 from 140 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
78 can be fit into 620 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3181.717
Deduct 546 from 620 and we're left with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 740 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 38.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3181.7179
If we subtract 702 from 740, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 78 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3181.71794
Subtract 312 from 380 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 680 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3181.717948
Subtract 624 from 680 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 13:
78 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3181.7179487
If we take 546 away from 560, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 140 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3181.71794871
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 78 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3181.71794871 with a remaining 6.2e-08.
