We're dividing 384281 by 78 
We want to divide 384281 by 78.

Advancing to step 1:
78 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 78

Let's proceed to step 2:
78 can be fit into 38 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 38 leaves us with 38.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 384 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 78 fits into 384 4 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 312 from 384 leaves us with 72.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 722 / 78

Going ahead to step 4:
78 goes into 722 9 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtracting 702 from 722 leaves us with 20.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 208 / 78

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 208 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 492.0
Deduct 156 from 208 and we're left with 52.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 521 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
521 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4926.0
Subtract 468 from 521 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Step 7:
530 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4926.6
Deduct 468 from 530 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 620 by 78, we get 7 and a remainder of 74.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4926.67
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 740 9 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4926.679
If we subtract 702 from 740, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 380 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4926.6794
Subtracting 312 from 380 leaves us with 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 11:
78 goes into 680 8 times with a remainder of 56.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4926.67948
Deduct 624 from 680 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
560 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4926.679487
Subtract 546 from 560 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 140 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4926.6794871
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.

Step 14:
620 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4926.67948717
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.

The quotient of the division is 4926.67948717, and the remainder is 7.4e-08.
