290478 divided by 78 
We want to figure out the number of times 290478 can be divided by 78.

Moving on to 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
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
78 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 290 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 290 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 56.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 234 from 290.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 564 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 564 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 546 away from 564, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 78

On to step 5:
If we divide 187 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 372.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 156 from 187.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 318 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 318 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3724.0
If we subtract 312 from 318, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 78 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3724.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 600 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3724.07
Deduct 546 from 600 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 540 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 72.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3724.076
Deduct 468 from 540 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
720 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3724.0769
Subtract 702 from 720 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
78 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3724.07692
Subtracting 156 from 180 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
78 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3724.076923
If we take 234 away from 240, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
78 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3724.076923
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
78 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3724.07692307
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 546 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3724.07692307, and the remainder is 5.4e-08.
