71878963 ÷ 268 
We want to divide 71878963 by 268.

Moving on to step 1:
268 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 268

Step 2:
268 can be fit into 71 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 71, we get 71.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 718 / 268

On to step 3:
718 divided by 268 is 2 with a remainder of 182.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 536 from 718, we get 182.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 182 and continue with: 1827 / 268

On to step 4:
If we divide 1827 by 268, we get 6 and a remainder of 219.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 1608 from 1827 to get 219.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 219 and continue with: 2198 / 268

Advancing to step 5:
268 goes into 2198 8 times with a remainder of 54.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 268.0
Subtract 2144 from 2198 to get 54.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 549 / 268

Let's proceed to step 6:
268 goes into 549 2 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2682.0
Deduct 536 from 549 and we're left with 13.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 136 / 268

Let's proceed to step 7:
136 divided by 268 is 0 with a remainder of 136.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26820.0
Subtract 0 from 136 to get 136.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 136, then repeat: 1363 / 268

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 1363 by 268, we get 5 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 268205.0
Deduct 1340 from 1363 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
268 goes into 230 0 times with a remainder of 230.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 268205.0
Subtract 0 from 230 to get 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
268 goes into 2300 8 times with a remainder of 156.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 268205.08
Subtracting 2144 from 2300 leaves us with 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Step 11:
268 can be fit into 1560 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 220.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 268205.085
If we subtract 1340 from 1560, we get 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 2200 by 268, we get 8 and a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 268205.0858
If we take 2144 away from 2200, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 560 by 268, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 268205.08582
If we subtract 536 from 560, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
240 divided by 268 is 0 with a remainder of 240.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 268205.08582
Deduct 0 from 240 and we're left with 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
268 can be fit into 2400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 256.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 268205.0858208
If we subtract 2144 from 2400, we get 256.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
If we divide 2560 by 268, we get 9 and a remainder of 148.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 268205.08582089
If we subtract 2412 from 2560, we get 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 268205.08582089 with a balance of 1.48e-07.
