We divide 203478 by 78
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 203478.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 78

Step 2:
If we divide 20 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 203 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
78 can be fit into 203 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 156 from 203 and we're left with 47.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 474 / 78

On to step 4:
78 goes into 474 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we take 468 away from 474, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 can be fit into 67 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 260.0
Subtracting 0 from 67 leaves us with 67.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 678 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
678 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 54.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2608.0
Subtract 624 from 678 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 7:
78 can be fit into 540 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2608.6
If we take 468 away from 540, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2608.69
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 702 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 180 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2608.692
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 156 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
240 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2608.6923
Subtract 234 from 240 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
78 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2608.6923
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2608.692307
Deduct 546 from 600 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 13:
78 goes into 540 6 times with a remainder of 72.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2608.6923076
Subtract 468 from 540 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 720 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2608.69230769
Deduct 702 from 720 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2608.69230769, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
