We're dividing 272112 by 78 
Our goal is to divide 272112 by 78.

Going ahead to step 1:
78 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
78 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 272 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 272 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 234 from 272, we get 38.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 381 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
381 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 69.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtracting 312 from 381 leaves us with 69.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 691 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 691 8 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 348.0
Subtract 624 from 691 to get 67.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 672 / 78

On to step 6:
78 can be fit into 672 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3488.0
If we subtract 624 from 672, we 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.

On to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3488.6
If we subtract 468 from 480, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 120 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3488.61
If we subtract 78 from 120, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 420 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3488.615
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 390 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 300 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 66.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3488.6153
If we take 234 away from 300, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3488.61538
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 78 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3488.615384
If we take 312 away from 360, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 78 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3488.6153846
Subtracting 468 from 480 leaves us 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 14:
When dividing 120 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3488.61538461
Subtracting 78 from 120 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3488.61538461 with a balance of 4.2e-08.
