We're dividing 226710 by 78 
We want to divide 226710 by 78.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 78, we get 0 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.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 78

Step 2:
78 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left with 22.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 226 / 78

Step 3:
78 can be fit into 226 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 156 from 226 leaves us with 70.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 707 / 78

Step 4:
When dividing 707 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 702 from 707.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 51 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 51 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 290.0
If we take 0 away from 51, we end up with 51.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 510 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 510 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2906.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 468 from 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
420 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2906.5
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 390 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
78 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2906.53
If we subtract 234 from 300, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 660 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2906.538
Subtract 624 from 660 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 360 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2906.5384
If we subtract 312 from 360, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
480 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2906.53846
Subtracting 468 from 480 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 12:
78 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2906.538461
Subtract 78 from 120 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 420 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2906.5384615
Subtract 390 from 420 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 78 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2906.53846153
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 234 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

The final result is 2906.53846153 with a remainder of 6.6e-08.
