157888 ÷ 78 
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 157888.

Advancing to step 1:
78 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 15, we get 15.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 157 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
157 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 156 from 157, we get 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 78

On to step 4:
When dividing 18 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
78 can be fit into 188 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 202.0
Subtracting 156 from 188 leaves us with 32.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 328 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
328 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2024.0
Subtract 312 from 328 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
160 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2024.2
Deduct 156 from 160 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2024.2
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2024.205
Subtracting 390 from 400 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
78 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2024.2051
Subtract 78 from 100 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 11:
78 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2024.20512
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.

Step 12:
If we divide 640 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2024.205128
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 160 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2024.2051282
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 78 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2024.2051282
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2024.2051282 with a remaining 4e-08.
