We're dividing 43876534 by 278 
Let's see how many times 278 fits into 43876534.

Going ahead to step 1:
278 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 43 / 278

Let's proceed to step 2:
278 goes into 43 0 times with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 43 leaves us with 43.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 438 / 278

Advancing to step 3:
278 goes into 438 1 times with a remainder of 160.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 278 from 438 leaves us with 160.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 160 and continue: 1607 / 278

Advancing to step 4:
278 goes into 1607 5 times with a remainder of 217.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 1390 from 1607 to get 217.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 217, then repeat: 2176 / 278

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 2176 by 278, we get 7 with a remainder of 230.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 157.0
If we take 1946 away from 2176, we end up with 230.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 230 and continue: 2305 / 278

On to step 6:
278 goes into 2305 8 times with a remainder of 81.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1578.0
Subtracting 2224 from 2305 leaves us with 81.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 81, then carry on: 813 / 278

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 813 by 278, we get 2 and a remainder of 257.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15782.0
If we take 556 away from 813, we end up with 257.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 257 and repeat the process: 2574 / 278

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 2574 by 278, we get 9 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 157829.0
If we take 2502 away from 2574, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
720 divided by 278 is 2 with a remainder of 164.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 157829.2
Subtracting 556 from 720 leaves us with 164.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1640, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
278 can be fit into 1640 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 250.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 157829.25
If we take 1390 away from 1640, we end up with 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 2500 by 278, we get 8 and a remainder of 276.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 157829.258
Subtract 2224 from 2500 to get 276.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2760, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 2760 by 278, we get 9 with a remainder of 258.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 157829.2589
Subtract 2502 from 2760 to get 258.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
278 can be fit into 2580 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 157829.25899
The remainder is 78 after subtracting 2502 from 2580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

The final result is 157829.25899 with a remainder of 7.8e-05.
