We look at the division of 404346 by 78 
Our goal is to divide 404346 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 78

Step 2:
The number 78 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 404 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
78 goes into 404 5 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 390 from 404 and we're left with 14.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 143 / 78

On to step 4:
143 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51.0
Deduct 78 from 143 and we're left with 65.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 65 and continue: 654 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 goes into 654 8 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 518.0
Subtract 624 from 654 to get 30.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 306 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
78 can be fit into 306 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5183.0
Deduct 234 from 306 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
78 goes into 720 9 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5183.9
Subtract 702 from 720 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5183.92
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 9:
When dividing 240 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5183.923
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 234 from 240.
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 10:
78 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5183.923
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 600 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5183.92307
If we take 546 away from 600, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
540 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 72.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5183.923076
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 468 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 13:
720 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5183.9230769
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.

Moving on to step 14:
78 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5183.92307692
Subtract 156 from 180 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5183.92307692 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
