249158 divided by 78 
We want to divide 249158 by 78.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 2 0 times, leaving 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.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
78 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 249 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 249 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 234 from 249 leaves us with 15.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 151 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 151 1 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 78 from 151 leaves us with 73.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 735 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
78 goes into 735 9 times with a remainder of 33.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 319.0
If we subtract 702 from 735, we get 33.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 338 / 78

Step 6:
338 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3194.0
Deduct 312 from 338 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
78 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3194.3
Deduct 234 from 260 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3194.33
Subtract 234 from 260 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3194.33 with a remaining 0.026.
