We're dividing 286541 by 78 
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 286541.

Step 1:
2 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 78

On to step 2:
78 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 286 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 286 3 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 234 from 286 leaves us with 52.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 525 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 525 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtract 468 from 525 to get 57.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 574 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 574 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 28.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 367.0
Subtract 546 from 574 to get 28.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 281 / 78

On to step 6:
78 can be fit into 281 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3673.0
Subtracting 234 from 281 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
470 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3673.6
If we subtract 468 from 470, 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.

On to step 8:
78 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3673.6
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
78 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3673.602
Deduct 156 from 200 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
440 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3673.6025
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
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: 3673.60256
Deduct 468 from 500 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
78 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3673.602564
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3673.6025641
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 14:
When dividing 20 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3673.6025641
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3673.6025641 and a remainder of 2e-08.
