We look at the division of 155908 by 78 
Our goal is to divide 155908 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
78 goes into 15 0 times 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 (5) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 155 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
155 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 77.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 78 from 155 and we're left with 77.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 77 and continue with: 779 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
78 can be fit into 779 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 702 from 779 to get 77.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 77 and continue: 770 / 78

Step 5:
When dividing 770 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 199.0
Deduct 702 from 770 and we're left with 68.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 688 / 78

On to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 688 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1998.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 624 from 688.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
78 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1998.8
Deduct 624 from 640 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
160 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1998.82
Deduct 156 from 160 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1998.82
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 400 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1998.8205
Subtracting 390 from 400 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
78 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1998.82051
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 78 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1998.820512
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 156 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
78 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1998.8205128
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 624 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 160 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1998.82051282
Subtract 156 from 160 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1998.82051282 with a remaining 4e-09.
