48878578 divided by 162 
Our goal is to divide 48878578 by 162.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 162, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 162

Moving on to step 2:
The number 162 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 488 / 162

Step 3:
If we divide 488 by 162, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 486 from 488, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 162

Going ahead to step 4:
162 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 278 / 162

Moving on to step 5:
278 divided by 162 is 1 with a remainder of 116.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 301.0
Deduct 162 from 278 and we're left with 116.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 116, then repeat: 1165 / 162

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 1165 by 162, we get 7 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3017.0
Deduct 1134 from 1165 and we're left with 31.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 317 / 162

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 317 by 162, we get 1 and a remainder of 155.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30171.0
Deduct 162 from 317 and we're left with 155.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 155 and continue with: 1558 / 162

Let's proceed to step 8:
1558 divided by 162 is 9 with a remainder of 100.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 301719.0
Subtract 1458 from 1558 to get 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
162 can be fit into 1000 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 301719.6
If we subtract 972 from 1000, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
280 divided by 162 is 1 with a remainder of 118.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 301719.61
If we subtract 162 from 280, we get 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
1180 divided by 162 is 7 with a remainder of 46.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 301719.617
If we take 1134 away from 1180, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 162 fits into 460 2 times, leaving a remainder of 136.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 301719.6172
If we take 324 away from 460, we end up with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
162 can be fit into 1360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 301719.61728
If we subtract 1296 from 1360, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 14:
162 goes into 640 3 times with a remainder of 154.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 301719.617283
If we take 486 away from 640, we end up with 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 162 fits into 1540 9 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 301719.6172839
If we subtract 1458 from 1540, we get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
162 goes into 820 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 301719.61728395
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 810 from 820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 301719.61728395 with a balance of 1e-08.
