254545 ÷ 78 
Our goal is to divide 254545 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 78

On to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 254 / 78

Step 3:
254 divided by 78 is 3 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.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 205 / 78

On to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 205 2 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtracting 156 from 205 leaves us with 49.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 494 / 78

On to step 5:
78 can be fit into 494 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 326.0
If we take 468 away from 494, we end up with 26.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 265 / 78

On to step 6:
If we divide 265 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3263.0
If we subtract 234 from 265, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 310 3 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3263.3
Subtracting 234 from 310 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
78 goes into 760 9 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3263.39
Subtract 702 from 760 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3263.397
If we take 546 away from 580, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 340 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3263.3974
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 312 from 340.
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.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3263.39743
If we take 234 away from 280, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 460 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3263.397435
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 390 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 700 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 76.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3263.3974358
Subtracting 624 from 700 leaves us 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.

Step 14:
78 can be fit into 760 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3263.39743589
If we take 702 away from 760, we end up 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.

Our division results in 3263.39743589 with a remaining 5.8e-08.
