Let's divide 287656 by 78
We want to divide 287656 by 78.

Step 1:
78 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in 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.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 287 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 287 3 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 234 from 287 leaves us with 53.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 536 / 78

On to step 4:
When dividing 536 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 36.0
Deduct 468 from 536 and we're left with 68.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 685 / 78

On to step 5:
78 goes into 685 8 times with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 368.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 624 from 685.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 61, then repeat: 616 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 616 7 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3687.0
If we subtract 546 from 616, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
700 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 76.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3687.8
Subtract 624 from 700 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 8:
78 goes into 760 9 times with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3687.89
Subtracting 702 from 760 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
78 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3687.897
Subtracting 546 from 580 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
78 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3687.8974
Subtract 312 from 340 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3687.89743
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 234 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
78 goes into 460 5 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3687.897435
If we subtract 390 from 460, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 700 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3687.8974358
Deduct 624 from 700 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
760 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3687.89743589
If we subtract 702 from 760, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3687.89743589, and the remainder is 5.8e-08.
