Answer:

26

Explanation:

Step 1:

Start by setting it up with the divisor 3 on the left side and the dividend 78 on the right side like this:

3 ⟌ 7 8

Step 2:

The divisor (3) goes into the first digit of the dividend (7), 2 time(s). Therefore, put 2 on top:

2

3 ⟌ 7 8

Step 3:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (3 x 2 = 6) and write that answer below the dividend.

2

3 ⟌ 7 8

6

Step 4:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (7 - 6 = 1) and write the answer below.

2

3 ⟌ 7 8

- 6

1

Step 5:

Move down the 2nd digit of the dividend (8) like this:

2

3 ⟌ 7 8

- 6

1 8

Step 6:

The divisor (3) goes into the bottom number (18), 6 time(s). Therefore, put 6 on top:

2 6

3 ⟌ 7 8

- 6

1 8

Step 7:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (3 x 6 = 18) and write that answer at the bottom:

2 6

3 ⟌ 7 8

- 6

1 8

1 8

Step 8:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (18 - 18 = 0) and write the answer at the bottom.

2 6

3 ⟌ 7 8

- 6

1 8

- 1 8
