We divide 308241 by 78
We want to divide 308241 by 78.

Step 1:
3 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
30 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 308 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 308 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 234 from 308, we get 74.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 742 / 78

On to step 4:
If we divide 742 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtract 702 from 742 to get 40.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 404 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
404 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 14.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 395.0
If we subtract 390 from 404, we get 14.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 141 / 78

On to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 141 1 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3951.0
Deduct 78 from 141 and we're left with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
78 can be fit into 630 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3951.8
If we take 624 away from 630, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
60 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3951.8
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
78 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3951.807
Subtract 546 from 600 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
78 can be fit into 540 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3951.8076
Deduct 468 from 540 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 11:
When dividing 720 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3951.80769
Subtracting 702 from 720 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
180 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3951.807692
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
78 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3951.8076923
Subtract 234 from 240 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
78 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3951.8076923
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3951.8076923 with a balance of 6e-08.
