217692 divided by 78 
We want to figure out the number of times 217692 can be divided by 78.

Step 1:
The number 78 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 78

On to step 2:
78 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 78

On to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 217 2 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 156 away from 217, we end up with 61.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 616 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 616 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 546 away from 616, we end up with 70.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 70 and continue: 709 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 709 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 279.0
Subtract 702 from 709 to get 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 78

Step 6:
78 goes into 72 0 times with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2790.0
Subtracting 0 from 72 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 7:
78 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2790.9
If we take 702 away from 720, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2790.92
If we subtract 156 from 180, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2790.923
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 234 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 60 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2790.923
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 600 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2790.92307
Subtracting 546 from 600 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 540 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2790.923076
If we subtract 468 from 540, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 720 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2790.9230769
Deduct 702 from 720 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
78 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2790.92307692
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 156 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2790.92307692 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
