We're dividing 78472426 by 281 
We want to figure out the number of times 78472426 can be divided by 281.

Moving on to step 1:
281 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 281

Advancing to step 2:
281 goes into 78 0 times with a remainder of 78.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 78, we end up with 78.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 78 and continue with: 784 / 281

Moving on to step 3:
281 goes into 784 2 times with a remainder of 222.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 222 after subtracting 562 from 784.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 222, then repeat: 2227 / 281

Moving on to step 4:
281 goes into 2227 7 times with a remainder of 260.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 1967 from 2227 and we're left with 260.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 260, then repeat: 2602 / 281

Going ahead to step 5:
281 goes into 2602 9 times with a remainder of 73.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 279.0
Subtract 2529 from 2602 to get 73.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 73 and continue: 734 / 281

On to step 6:
734 divided by 281 is 2 with a remainder of 172.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2792.0
If we take 562 away from 734, we end up with 172.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 172 and continue: 1722 / 281

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 1722 by 281, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27926.0
Subtracting 1686 from 1722 leaves us with 36.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 366 / 281

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 366 by 281, we get 1 with a remainder of 85.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 279261.0
Subtract 281 from 366 to get 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
281 can be fit into 850 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 279261.3
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 843 from 850.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 70 by 281, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 279261.3
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 281 fits into 700 2 times, leaving a remainder of 138.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 279261.302
Deduct 562 from 700 and we're left with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 281 fits into 1380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 256.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 279261.3024
The remainder is 256 after subtracting 1124 from 1380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 281 fits into 2560 9 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 279261.30249
Deduct 2529 from 2560 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
310 divided by 281 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 279261.302491
Deduct 281 from 310 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 281 fits into 290 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 279261.3024911
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 281 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Our division results in 279261.3024911 with a remaining 9e-08.
