We divide 340971 by 78
Let's see how many times 78 fits into 340971.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 78, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
78 can be fit into 34 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 34 leaves us with 34.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 340 / 78

Going ahead to step 3:
78 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 312 from 340 and we're left with 28.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 289 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 289 3 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43.0
Subtracting 234 from 289 leaves us with 55.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 557 / 78

Step 5:
78 can be fit into 557 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 437.0
Deduct 546 from 557 and we're left with 11.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 111 / 78

Step 6:
78 can be fit into 111 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4371.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 78 from 111.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
78 can be fit into 330 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4371.4
Deduct 312 from 330 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
78 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4371.42
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 156 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 240 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4371.423
Subtracting 234 from 240 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
60 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4371.423
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
600 divided by 78 is 7 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4371.42307
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 546 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
540 divided by 78 is 6 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4371.423076
Subtracting 468 from 540 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 720 by 78, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4371.4230769
Subtracting 702 from 720 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 78 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4371.42307692
Deduct 156 from 180 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4371.42307692 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
