Let's divide 240806 by 78
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 240806.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
78 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 240 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 234 from 240 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 68 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 68.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtracting 0 from 68 leaves us with 68.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 68, then repeat: 680 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 680 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 308.0
Subtracting 624 from 680 leaves us with 56.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 566 / 78

On to step 6:
When dividing 566 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3087.0
Deduct 546 from 566 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3087.2
If we subtract 156 from 200, we 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.

On to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3087.25
If we subtract 390 from 440, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 9:
78 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3087.256
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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 320 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3087.2564
If we subtract 312 from 320, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
80 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3087.25641
If we take 78 away from 80, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 20 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3087.25641
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.

Advancing to step 13:
78 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3087.2564102
If we take 156 away from 200, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 440 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3087.25641025
Deduct 390 from 440 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3087.25641025 with a balance of 5e-08.
