We divide 159929 by 78
Our goal is to divide 159929 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 78

On to step 2:
78 can be fit into 15 0 times, resulting in 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.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 159 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 159 2 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 156 away from 159, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 78

Step 4:
If we divide 39 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 39 and we're left with 39.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 392 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
78 can be fit into 392 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 205.0
If we subtract 390 from 392, we get 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 78

On to step 6:
29 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2050.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 290 3 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2050.3
Subtracting 234 from 290 leaves us 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 8:
The number 78 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2050.37
Subtract 546 from 560 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 9:
78 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2050.371
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 78 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 10:
620 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 74.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2050.3717
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
78 can be fit into 740 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2050.37179
If we take 702 away from 740, we end up 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 380 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2050.371794
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 13:
The number 78 fits into 680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2050.3717948
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 624 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 78 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2050.37179487
Subtract 546 from 560 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2050.37179487 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
