Let's divide 332243 by 78
We want to divide 332243 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 33 / 78

Going ahead to step 2:
33 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 33.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 33 and we're left with 33.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 332 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 332 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 312 from 332.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 202 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 202 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtract 156 from 202 to get 46.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 464 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 464 5 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 425.0
Subtracting 390 from 464 leaves us with 74.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 74 and repeat the process: 743 / 78

Step 6:
78 goes into 743 9 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4259.0
Deduct 702 from 743 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
410 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4259.5
If we take 390 away from 410, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4259.52
Deduct 156 from 200 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
440 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4259.525
Subtracting 390 from 440 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
78 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4259.5256
Deduct 468 from 500 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 78 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4259.52564
Subtract 312 from 320 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
78 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4259.525641
Subtracting 78 from 80 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 20 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4259.525641
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 200 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4259.52564102
Subtract 156 from 200 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4259.52564102 with a balance of 4.4e-08.
