We divide 157861 by 78
Our goal is to divide 157861 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 78, we get 0 and 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.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 78

Step 2:
When dividing 15 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 157 / 78

Step 3:
78 can be fit into 157 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 156 from 157, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 78

Step 4:
When dividing 18 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 186 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 can be fit into 186 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 202.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 156 from 186.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 301 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
78 goes into 301 3 times with a remainder of 67.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2023.0
Subtracting 234 from 301 leaves us with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 670 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2023.8
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 624 from 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2023.85
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 390 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2023.858
Subtract 624 from 700 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 760 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 58.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2023.8589
If we subtract 702 from 760, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 78 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2023.85897
Subtract 546 from 580 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 340 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2023.858974
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 312 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
280 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2023.8589743
If we subtract 234 from 280, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 460 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2023.85897435
If we take 390 away from 460, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2023.85897435, with a leftover of 7e-08.
