Let's divide 284071 by 78
Our goal is to divide 284071 by 78.

Moving on to step 1:
78 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 78

Step 2:
When dividing 28 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 284 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 284 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 50.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 234 from 284 leaves us with 50.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 500 / 78

Step 4:
500 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36.0
Deduct 468 from 500 and we're left with 32.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 327 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 goes into 327 4 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 364.0
Deduct 312 from 327 and we're left with 15.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 151 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 151 1 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3641.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 78 from 151.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
78 goes into 730 9 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3641.9
Subtract 702 from 730 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 46.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3641.93
If we subtract 234 from 280, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 9:
460 divided by 78 is 5 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3641.935
Deduct 390 from 460 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
78 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3641.9358
Subtract 624 from 700 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 760 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 58.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3641.93589
Subtract 702 from 760 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
78 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3641.935897
Deduct 546 from 580 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
340 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3641.9358974
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 312 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 280 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3641.93589743
Subtracting 234 from 280 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3641.93589743 with a remaining 4.6e-08.
