We're dividing 242252 by 78 
Our goal is to divide 242252 by 78.

Step 1:
78 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in 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.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 78

Step 2:
78 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in 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.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
242 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 234 away from 242, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 82 / 78

Step 4:
When dividing 82 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 78 from 82, we get 4.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 45 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 45 0 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 310.0
Subtract 0 from 45 to get 45.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 452 / 78

On to step 6:
78 goes into 452 5 times with a remainder of 62.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3105.0
Deduct 390 from 452 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 620 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 74.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3105.7
Subtract 546 from 620 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
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: 3105.79
Subtract 702 from 740 to 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.

Moving on to step 9:
78 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3105.794
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 312 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 10:
680 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3105.7948
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 11:
When dividing 560 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3105.79487
If we take 546 away from 560, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
78 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3105.794871
If we subtract 78 from 140, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 620 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 74.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3105.7948717
If we take 546 away from 620, we end up 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 14:
If we divide 740 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3105.79487179
Deduct 702 from 740 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3105.79487179 and a remainder of 3.8e-08.
