We're dividing 224701 by 78 
Our goal is to divide 224701 by 78.

Step 1:
78 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up with 22.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 224 / 78

On to step 3:
If we divide 224 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 68.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 156 from 224.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 687 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 687 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 63.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 624 from 687 to get 63.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 63 and repeat the process: 630 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 630 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 288.0
If we take 624 away from 630, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 61 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2880.0
If we subtract 0 from 61, we get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 610 7 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2880.7
If we subtract 546 from 610, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
78 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2880.78
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2880.782
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2880.782
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2880.78205
If we subtract 390 from 400, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2880.782051
Subtracting 78 from 100 leaves us with 22.
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 13:
When dividing 220 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2880.7820512
Subtract 156 from 220 to get 64.
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 14:
If we divide 640 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2880.78205128
If we take 624 away from 640, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2880.78205128 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
