178231 ÷ 65 
We want to divide 178231 by 65.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 65 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 65

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 65, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 178 / 65

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 178 by 65, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 130 from 178 to get 48.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 482 / 65

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 65 fits into 482 7 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 455 from 482 to get 27.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 273 / 65

Advancing to step 5:
65 can be fit into 273 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 274.0
Deduct 260 from 273 and we're left with 13.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 131 / 65

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 131 by 65, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2742.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 130 from 131.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
10 divided by 65 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2742.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 65 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2742.01
Subtracting 65 from 100 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 350 by 65, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2742.015
If we take 325 away from 350, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 250 by 65, we get 3 and a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2742.0153
Subtracting 195 from 250 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 550 by 65, we get 8 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2742.01538
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 520 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 300 by 65, we get 4 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2742.015384
Subtract 260 from 300 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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 65 fits into 400 6 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2742.0153846
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.

On to step 14:
The number 65 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2742.01538461
If we subtract 65 from 100, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

The final result is 2742.01538461 with a remainder of 3.5e-08.
