We divide 271507 by 78
Our goal is to divide 271507 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 78

Step 2:
27 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 271 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
271 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 234 from 271.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 375 / 78

Step 4:
When dividing 375 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 63.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we subtract 312 from 375, we get 63.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 630 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
78 goes into 630 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 348.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 624 from 630.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 67 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 67 0 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3480.0
If we take 0 away from 67, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
78 can be fit into 670 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3480.8
Subtract 624 from 670 to 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 460 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3480.85
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 390 from 460.
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 9:
When dividing 700 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 76.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3480.858
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 624 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
760 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3480.8589
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.

Step 11:
78 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3480.85897
If we subtract 546 from 580, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 340 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3480.858974
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
78 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3480.8589743
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.

Moving on to step 14:
78 can be fit into 460 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3480.85897435
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 390 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3480.85897435 and a remainder of 7e-08.
