We're dividing 249322 by 78 
Our goal is to divide 249322 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 249 / 78

On to step 3:
249 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 15.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 234 away from 249, we end up with 15.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 153 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 153 1 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 78 from 153.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 75, then repeat: 752 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
78 can be fit into 752 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 319.0
Subtracting 702 from 752 leaves us with 50.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 502 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 502 6 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3196.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 468 from 502.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
78 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3196.4
Deduct 312 from 340 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 78 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3196.43
Subtracting 234 from 280 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3196.435
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 390 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3196.4358
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 624 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 760 9 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3196.43589
If we subtract 702 from 760, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
78 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3196.435897
Subtracting 546 from 580 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 340 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3196.4358974
If we subtract 312 from 340, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 280 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3196.43589743
Subtracting 234 from 280 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3196.43589743 with a remaining 4.6e-08.
