We look at the division of 431023 by 78 
Our goal is to divide 431023 by 78.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 43 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 43 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 0 from 43.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 431 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
78 goes into 431 5 times with a remainder of 41.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 390 away from 431, we end up with 41.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 410 / 78

On to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 410 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtract 390 from 410 to get 20.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 202 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
78 can be fit into 202 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 552.0
If we take 156 away from 202, we end up with 46.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 463 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 463 5 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5525.0
Deduct 390 from 463 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 730 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 28.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5525.9
Subtracting 702 from 730 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
280 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5525.93
Subtract 234 from 280 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
78 can be fit into 460 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5525.935
Subtract 390 from 460 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 700 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5525.9358
Subtract 624 from 700 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 760 9 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5525.93589
If we take 702 away from 760, we end up with 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 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5525.935897
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 546 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 340 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5525.9358974
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.

On to step 14:
78 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5525.93589743
Deduct 234 from 280 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5525.93589743 with a balance of 4.6e-08.
