228531 ÷ 78 
We want to divide 228531 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
78 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 78

On to step 2:
22 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 228 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 228 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 156 away from 228, we end up with 72.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 725 / 78

On to step 4:
78 goes into 725 9 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 702 from 725 leaves us with 23.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 233 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
78 can be fit into 233 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 292.0
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 156 from 233.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 77 and continue with: 771 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
78 goes into 771 9 times with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2929.0
If we subtract 702 from 771, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
78 goes into 690 8 times with a remainder of 66.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2929.8
Deduct 624 from 690 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.

On to step 8:
660 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2929.88
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 624 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final result is 2929.88 with a remainder of 0.036.
