We look at the division of 81717 by 78 
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 81717.

Moving on to step 1:
78 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 81 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
81 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 78 from 81 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
78 goes into 37 0 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 37 and we're left with 37.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 371 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 371 4 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 104.0
Subtracting 312 from 371 leaves us with 59.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 597 / 78

On to step 5:
When dividing 597 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1047.0
Subtracting 546 from 597 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 510 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1047.6
If we subtract 468 from 510, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
78 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1047.65
Deduct 390 from 420 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
300 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1047.653
Subtracting 234 from 300 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
660 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1047.6538
If we subtract 624 from 660, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 10:
360 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1047.65384
Subtract 312 from 360 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
78 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1047.653846
Deduct 468 from 480 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
78 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1047.6538461
If we take 78 away from 120, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 420 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1047.65384615
If we take 390 away from 420, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1047.65384615 with a balance of 3e-08.
