We look at the division of 7311778 by 491 
Our goal is to divide 7311778 by 491.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 491, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 73 / 491

Advancing to step 2:
73 divided by 491 is 0 with a remainder of 73.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 73 leaves us with 73.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 731 / 491

Moving on to step 3:
491 goes into 731 1 times with a remainder of 240.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 491 away from 731, we end up with 240.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 240, then carry on: 2401 / 491

Advancing to step 4:
2401 divided by 491 is 4 with a remainder of 437.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 437 after subtracting 1964 from 2401.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 437 and repeat the process: 4377 / 491

Step 5:
When dividing 4377 by 491, we get 8 with a remainder of 449.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148.0
Deduct 3928 from 4377 and we're left with 449.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 449 and repeat the process: 4497 / 491

Moving on to step 6:
491 can be fit into 4497 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1489.0
Subtracting 4419 from 4497 leaves us with 78.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 78, then carry on: 788 / 491

On to step 7:
491 can be fit into 788 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 297.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14891.0
Subtract 491 from 788 to get 297.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2970, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 491 fits into 2970 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14891.6
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 2946 from 2970.
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:
491 can be fit into 240 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 240.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14891.6
Subtracting 0 from 240 leaves us with 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
491 goes into 2400 4 times with a remainder of 436.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14891.604
Deduct 1964 from 2400 and we're left with 436.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
491 can be fit into 4360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 432.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14891.6048
If we take 3928 away from 4360, we end up with 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
4320 divided by 491 is 8 with a remainder of 392.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14891.60488
If we take 3928 away from 4320, we end up with 392.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3920, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 14891.60488 with a balance of 0.000392.
