31445 divided by 78 
Our goal is to divide 31445 by 78.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 78

On to step 2:
78 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 314 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
78 can be fit into 314 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 312 away from 314, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 78

On to step 4:
If we divide 24 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 245 / 78

Step 5:
The number 78 fits into 245 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 403.0
Deduct 234 from 245 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
78 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 403.1
Subtracting 78 from 110 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 7:
320 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 403.14
Deduct 312 from 320 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 80 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 403.141
If we take 78 away from 80, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
78 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 403.141
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
78 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 403.14102
If we take 156 away from 200, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 440 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 403.141025
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 390 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
78 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 403.1410256
If we subtract 468 from 500, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
320 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 403.14102564
If we subtract 312 from 320, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 403.14102564 with a remaining 8e-09.
