238871 ÷ 78 
We're looking to find how many times 78 goes into 238871.

Step 1:
78 goes into 2 0 times with 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.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
23 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 238 / 78

On to step 3:
If we divide 238 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 234 from 238 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 78

Step 4:
48 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 487 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 487 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 306.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 468 from 487.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 191 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 191 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 35.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3062.0
If we subtract 156 from 191, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 350 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3062.4
Deduct 312 from 350 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 78 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3062.44
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 312 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3062.44, with a leftover of 0.068.
