48296404 ÷ 178 
We want to divide 48296404 by 178.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 178, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 178

Advancing to step 2:
178 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 482 / 178

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 482 by 178, we get 2 and a remainder of 126.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 356 from 482, we get 126.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 126 and continue with: 1269 / 178

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 178 fits into 1269 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 1246 from 1269 and we're left with 23.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 236 / 178

Step 5:
The number 178 fits into 236 1 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 271.0
If we take 178 away from 236, we end up with 58.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 584 / 178

On to step 6:
584 divided by 178 is 3 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2713.0
If we take 534 away from 584, we end up with 50.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 500 / 178

Going ahead to step 7:
178 can be fit into 500 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 144.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27132.0
Subtracting 356 from 500 leaves us with 144.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 144, then repeat: 1444 / 178

Let's proceed to step 8:
1444 divided by 178 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 271328.0
If we subtract 1424 from 1444, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
178 goes into 200 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 271328.1
Deduct 178 from 200 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 178 fits into 220 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 271328.11
If we take 178 away from 220, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 271328.11 with a balance of 0.042.
