Let's divide 212252 by 78
We want to divide 212252 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 78

Step 2:
78 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 212 / 78

On to step 3:
78 can be fit into 212 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 156 from 212, we get 56.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 562 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
78 goes into 562 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 546 from 562 to get 16.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 165 / 78

On to step 5:
When dividing 165 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 272.0
If we subtract 156 from 165, we get 9.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 92 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
78 goes into 92 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2721.0
If we take 78 away from 92, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
78 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2721.1
Subtract 78 from 140 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
78 can be fit into 620 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2721.17
If we take 546 away from 620, we end up with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
740 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 38.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2721.179
Deduct 702 from 740 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 380 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2721.1794
Subtracting 312 from 380 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 680 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2721.17948
Subtract 624 from 680 to get 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 12:
78 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2721.179487
Subtracting 546 from 560 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
78 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2721.1794871
Subtracting 78 from 140 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
78 can be fit into 620 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2721.17948717
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.

The quotient of the division is 2721.17948717, and the remainder is 7.4e-08.
