1659272 ÷ 478 
We're looking to find how many times 478 goes into 1659272.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 478, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 478

Going ahead to step 2:
478 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, we get 16.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 165 / 478

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 165 by 478, we get 0 and a remainder of 165.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 165, we end up with 165.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 165 and continue with: 1659 / 478

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 1659 by 478, we get 3 with a remainder of 225.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 1434 from 1659, we get 225.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 225 and continue: 2252 / 478

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 2252 by 478, we get 4 with a remainder of 340.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Deduct 1912 from 2252 and we're left with 340.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 340, then carry on: 3407 / 478

Step 6:
When dividing 3407 by 478, we get 7 with a remainder of 61.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 347.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 3346 from 3407.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 612 / 478

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 612 by 478, we get 1 and a remainder of 134.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3471.0
Subtract 478 from 612 to get 134.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 478 fits into 1340 2 times, leaving a remainder of 384.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3471.2
If we subtract 956 from 1340, we get 384.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 3840 by 478, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3471.28
Deduct 3824 from 3840 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
160 divided by 478 is 0 with a remainder of 160.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3471.28
If we take 0 away from 160, we end up with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 478 fits into 1600 3 times, leaving a remainder of 166.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3471.2803
Subtracting 1434 from 1600 leaves us with 166.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 1660 by 478, we get 3 and a remainder of 226.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3471.28033
Subtracting 1434 from 1660 leaves us with 226.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2260, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3471.28033 and a remainder of 0.000226.
