Let's divide 31827875 by 78
We want to divide 31827875 by 78.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 31 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 318 / 78

On to step 3:
318 divided by 78 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 312 from 318, we get 6.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 62 / 78

Advancing to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 62 0 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtract 0 from 62 to get 62.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 627 / 78

Moving on to step 5:
78 can be fit into 627 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 408.0
If we subtract 624 from 627, we get 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
38 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4080.0
Subtracting 0 from 38 leaves us with 38.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 387 / 78

Advancing to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 387 4 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 40804.0
Subtracting 312 from 387 leaves us with 75.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 75 and continue with: 755 / 78

Moving on to step 8:
755 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 408049.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 702 from 755.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
78 goes into 530 6 times with a remainder of 62.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 408049.6
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 468 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 620 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 408049.67
Subtract 546 from 620 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 740 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 408049.679
Deduct 702 from 740 and we're left with 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 12:
78 goes into 380 4 times with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 408049.6794
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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 680 by 78, we get 8 and a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 408049.67948
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 624 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 560 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 408049.679487
Subtracting 546 from 560 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
78 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 408049.6794871
If we take 78 away from 140, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
The number 78 fits into 620 7 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 408049.67948717
If we subtract 546 from 620, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Our division results in 408049.67948717 with a remaining 7.4e-08.
