148880 ÷ 78 
We want to divide 148880 by 78.

Step 1:
78 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 78

Step 2:
If we divide 14 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 148 / 78

On to step 3:
When dividing 148 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 78 from 148.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 708 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 708 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 702 from 708 to get 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 can be fit into 68 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 190.0
If we take 0 away from 68, we end up with 68.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 680 / 78

On to step 6:
78 goes into 680 8 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1908.0
Deduct 624 from 680 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
78 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1908.7
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 546 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
140 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1908.71
Subtracting 78 from 140 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 620 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1908.717
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.

Moving on to step 10:
78 can be fit into 740 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1908.7179
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:
If we divide 380 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1908.71794
Deduct 312 from 380 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
78 goes into 680 8 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1908.717948
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.

Moving on to step 13:
78 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1908.7179487
Subtract 546 from 560 to 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 14:
If we divide 140 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 62.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1908.71794871
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 1908.71794871 with a remaining 6.2e-08.
