Let's divide 310701 by 78
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 310701.

Let's proceed to step 1:
78 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
78 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 310 / 78

On to step 3:
78 goes into 310 3 times with a remainder of 76.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 234 from 310 and we're left with 76.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 76 and continue: 767 / 78

On to step 4:
If we divide 767 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39.0
Deduct 702 from 767 and we're left with 65.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 65, then carry on: 650 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 650 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 398.0
If we take 624 away from 650, we end up with 26.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 261 / 78

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 261 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3983.0
Subtract 234 from 261 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
270 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3983.3
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 234 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 8:
78 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3983.34
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 9:
78 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3983.346
If we take 468 away from 480, we end up 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.

Step 10:
78 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3983.3461
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 420 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3983.34615
Subtract 390 from 420 to get 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 12:
When dividing 300 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3983.346153
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.

Step 13:
The number 78 fits into 660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3983.3461538
Subtract 624 from 660 to 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 14:
The number 78 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3983.34615384
Subtracting 312 from 360 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3983.34615384 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
