We're dividing 301285 by 78 
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 301285.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 30 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
78 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 301 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 301 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 234 from 301, we get 67.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 67, then carry on: 672 / 78

On to step 4:
78 goes into 672 8 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we take 624 away from 672, we end up with 48.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 488 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 488 by 78, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 386.0
Deduct 468 from 488 and we're left with 20.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 205 / 78

Moving on to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 205 2 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3862.0
Deduct 156 from 205 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
490 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3862.6
Deduct 468 from 490 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
220 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3862.62
If we take 156 away from 220, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
640 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3862.628
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 624 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
160 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3862.6282
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 40 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3862.6282
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 78 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3862.628205
If we take 390 away from 400, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 78 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3862.6282051
Subtract 78 from 100 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
220 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3862.62820512
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 156 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3862.62820512 with a remaining 6.4e-08.
