Let's divide 240671 by 78
We want to divide 240671 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 78

On to step 2:
78 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 240 / 78

On to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 234 from 240 leaves us with 6.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 66 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
78 goes into 66 0 times with a remainder of 66.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Deduct 0 from 66 and we're left with 66.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 667 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 667 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 43.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 308.0
Deduct 624 from 667 and we're left with 43.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 431 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
78 goes into 431 5 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3085.0
Subtract 390 from 431 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
410 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3085.5
If we subtract 390 from 410, we get 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:
78 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3085.52
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 440 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3085.525
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.

On to step 10:
78 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3085.5256
If we take 468 away from 500, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
320 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3085.52564
Subtracting 312 from 320 leaves us with 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 12:
The number 78 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3085.525641
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 78 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
78 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3085.525641
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
200 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3085.52564102
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 156 from 200.
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 3085.52564102 with a balance of 4.4e-08.
