We divide 318594 by 78
We want to divide 318594 by 78.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 318 / 78

On to step 3:
78 can be fit into 318 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 312 away from 318, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 65 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 65 0 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we subtract 0 from 65, we get 65.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 65 and repeat the process: 659 / 78

On to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 659 8 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 408.0
If we take 624 away from 659, we end up with 35.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 354 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 354 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4084.0
Subtract 312 from 354 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 420 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4084.5
Subtracting 390 from 420 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
300 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 66.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4084.53
If we subtract 234 from 300, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 660 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4084.538
If we take 624 away from 660, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
78 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4084.5384
Subtract 312 from 360 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
78 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4084.53846
Subtracting 468 from 480 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 120 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4084.538461
If we take 78 away from 120, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
78 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4084.5384615
If we take 390 away from 420, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 78 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4084.53846153
Subtract 234 from 300 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4084.53846153 with a balance of 6.6e-08.
