We divide 78971427 by 288
We're looking to find how many times 288 goes into 78971427.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 288 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 288

Moving on to step 2:
288 goes into 78 0 times with a remainder of 78.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 78, we get 78.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 78 and continue with: 789 / 288

Step 3:
The number 288 fits into 789 2 times, leaving a remainder of 213.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 576 from 789, we get 213.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 213, then carry on: 2137 / 288

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 288 fits into 2137 7 times, leaving a remainder of 121.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
The remainder is 121 after subtracting 2016 from 2137.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 121 and repeat the process: 1211 / 288

On to step 5:
The number 288 fits into 1211 4 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 274.0
If we take 1152 away from 1211, we end up with 59.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 594 / 288

Let's proceed to step 6:
288 goes into 594 2 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2742.0
If we take 576 away from 594, we end up with 18.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 182 / 288

On to step 7:
When dividing 182 by 288, we get 0 with a remainder of 182.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27420.0
If we subtract 0 from 182, we get 182.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 182 and continue: 1827 / 288

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 288 fits into 1827 6 times, leaving a remainder of 99.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 274206.0
The remainder is 99 after subtracting 1728 from 1827.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 990, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
990 divided by 288 is 3 with a remainder of 126.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 274206.3
Subtracting 864 from 990 leaves us with 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
288 goes into 1260 4 times with a remainder of 108.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 274206.34
Deduct 1152 from 1260 and we're left with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 288 fits into 1080 3 times, leaving a remainder of 216.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 274206.343
Subtract 864 from 1080 to get 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 2160 by 288, we get 7 with a remainder of 144.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 274206.3437
The remainder is 144 after subtracting 2016 from 2160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Step 13:
288 goes into 1440 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 274206.34375
If we take 1440 away from 1440, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 288 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 274206.34375
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
288 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 274206.34375
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 274206.34375 with a balance of 0.0.
