We're dividing 187482 by 78 
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 187482.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
78 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 187 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
187 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 31.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 156 from 187, we get 31.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 314 / 78

Moving on to step 4:
78 can be fit into 314 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 312 from 314, we get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 78

On to step 5:
28 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 240.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 282 / 78

On to step 6:
78 can be fit into 282 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2403.0
Subtracting 234 from 282 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
480 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2403.6
Deduct 468 from 480 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
120 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2403.61
Subtracting 78 from 120 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2403.615
Subtract 390 from 420 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
78 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 66.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2403.6153
Deduct 234 from 300 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2403.61538
Subtracting 624 from 660 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
78 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2403.615384
If we subtract 312 from 360, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
78 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2403.6153846
Subtract 468 from 480 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
78 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2403.61538461
If we take 78 away from 120, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2403.61538461 with a remaining 4.2e-08.
