Let's divide 173962 by 78
Our goal is to divide 173962 by 78.

Advancing to step 1:
78 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
78 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 78

Step 3:
173 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 17.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 156 from 173, we get 17.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 179 / 78

Moving on to step 4:
78 can be fit into 179 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 156 from 179 and we're left with 23.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 236 / 78

On to step 5:
78 can be fit into 236 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 223.0
If we subtract 234 from 236, we get 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
78 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2230.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 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 7:
The number 78 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2230.2
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 156 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
78 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2230.28
Subtracting 624 from 640 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
The number 78 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2230.282
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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2230.282
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2230.28205
Deduct 390 from 400 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2230.282051
Deduct 78 from 100 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 220 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2230.2820512
Deduct 156 from 220 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 640 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2230.28205128
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.

After the division, we end up with 2230.28205128 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
