We're dividing 248354 by 78 
Our goal is to divide 248354 by 78.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 248 / 78

On to step 3:
248 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 234 from 248.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 143 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
78 goes into 143 1 times with a remainder of 65.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 78 from 143.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 655 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 655 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 318.0
If we take 624 away from 655, we end up with 31.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 314 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
78 goes into 314 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3184.0
If we subtract 312 from 314, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
78 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3184.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
78 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3184.02
Subtracting 156 from 200 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 440 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3184.025
If we take 390 away from 440, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3184.0256
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 468 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
320 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3184.02564
Deduct 312 from 320 and we're left 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 12:
The number 78 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3184.025641
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.

On to step 13:
78 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3184.025641
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 200 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3184.02564102
If we take 156 away from 200, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3184.02564102 with a balance of 4.4e-08.
