We divide 38817281 by 78
We want to divide 38817281 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
78 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 78

Step 2:
When dividing 38 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 388 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 388 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 76.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 312 from 388, we get 76.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 76 and repeat the process: 761 / 78

On to step 4:
761 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 59.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we subtract 702 from 761, we get 59.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 597 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 goes into 597 7 times with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 497.0
If we take 546 away from 597, we end up with 51.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 512 / 78

Step 6:
The number 78 fits into 512 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4976.0
Subtract 468 from 512 to get 44.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 448 / 78

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 448 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 49765.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 390 from 448.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 581 / 78

Let's proceed to step 8:
78 can be fit into 581 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 497657.0
If we take 546 away from 581, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
350 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 497657.4
Subtract 312 from 350 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 497657.44
Subtract 312 from 380 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 497657.44, with a leftover of 0.068.
