311892 divided by 78 
We want to divide 311892 by 78.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 311 / 78

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 311 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 77.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 234 from 311 and we're left with 77.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 77, then carry on: 778 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 778 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 76.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39.0
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 702 from 778.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 76, then repeat: 769 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 769 by 78, we get 9 with a remainder of 67.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 399.0
Subtracting 702 from 769 leaves us with 67.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 67 and continue: 672 / 78

Step 6:
672 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3998.0
Deduct 624 from 672 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 480 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3998.6
Deduct 468 from 480 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 120 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3998.61
If we take 78 away from 120, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
78 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3998.615
If we subtract 390 from 420, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
300 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 66.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3998.6153
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 234 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
78 can be fit into 660 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3998.61538
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 624 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 360 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3998.615384
Subtract 312 from 360 to 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 480 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3998.6153846
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 120 by 78, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3998.61538461
If we take 78 away from 120, we end up 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.

Our division results in 3998.61538461 with a remaining 4.2e-08.
