We divide 1881 by 78
Our goal is to divide 1881 by 78.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 78

Step 3:
When dividing 188 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 156 from 188 and we're left with 32.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 321 / 78

On to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 321 4 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 312 from 321, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 90 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.1
If we subtract 78 from 90, 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.

On to step 6:
78 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 24.11
Deduct 78 from 120 and we're left 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 24.11 with a balance of 0.042.
