We divide 48278 by 7
We're looking to find how many times 7 goes into 48278.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 7

On to step 2:
7 goes into 48 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 42 from 48 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 62 / 7

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 62 by 7, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 68.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 56 from 62.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 7

On to step 4:
7 goes into 67 9 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 689.0
Subtract 63 from 67 to get 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 7

On to step 5:
48 divided by 7 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6896.0
Subtracting 42 from 48 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.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 7 fits into 60 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6896.8
Subtract 56 from 60 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 7 fits into 40 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6896.85
Subtract 35 from 40 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 8:
50 divided by 7 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6896.857
Subtracting 49 from 50 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 9:
7 goes into 10 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6896.8571
If we take 7 away from 10, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
7 can be fit into 30 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6896.85714
Deduct 28 from 30 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 20 by 7, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6896.857142
Deduct 14 from 20 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 60 by 7, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6896.8571428
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 56 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
7 goes into 40 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6896.85714285
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 35 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6896.85714285 with a remaining 5e-09.
