We're dividing 24372 by 78 
We want to divide 24372 by 78.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
78 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 243 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 243 by 78, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 234 from 243 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
97 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 78 from 97.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 192 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
78 can be fit into 192 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 312.0
Subtract 156 from 192 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.

Advancing to step 6:
78 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 312.4
If we subtract 312 from 360, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
78 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 312.46
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
120 divided by 78 is 1 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 312.461
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:
78 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 312.4615
Subtracting 390 from 420 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
78 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 312.46153
Deduct 234 from 300 and we're left 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:
78 goes into 660 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 312.461538
Deduct 624 from 660 and we're left with 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:
360 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 312.4615384
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
480 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 312.46153846
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 312.46153846 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
