We're dividing 277862 by 78 
Our goal is to divide 277862 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
78 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 78

On to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 277 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 277 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 43.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 234 from 277.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 438 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 438 5 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtracting 390 from 438 leaves us with 48.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 486 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
78 can be fit into 486 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 356.0
Deduct 468 from 486 and we're left with 18.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 182 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
78 goes into 182 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3562.0
If we take 156 away from 182, we end up 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.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3562.3
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 234 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
78 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3562.33
If we subtract 234 from 260, we 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.

The final outcome is 3562.33, with a leftover of 0.026.
