279851 divided by 78 
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 279851.

Advancing to step 1:
78 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
27 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 279 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
78 can be fit into 279 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 234 away from 279, we end up with 45.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 458 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 458 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 390 from 458 to get 68.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 68, then repeat: 685 / 78

Step 5:
685 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 61.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 358.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 624 from 685.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 611 / 78

Step 6:
If we divide 611 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 65.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3587.0
Deduct 546 from 611 and we're left with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
650 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3587.8
If we subtract 624 from 650, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3587.83
Subtracting 234 from 260 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3587.833
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3587.833 with a balance of 0.0026.
