Let's divide 12278756 by 164
Our goal is to divide 12278756 by 164.

Going ahead to step 1:
164 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 164

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 12 by 164, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 122 / 164

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 122 by 164, we get 0 and a remainder of 122.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 122, we end up with 122.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 122 and continue with: 1227 / 164

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 1227 by 164, we get 7 and a remainder of 79.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 79 after subtracting 1148 from 1227.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 79 and repeat the process: 798 / 164

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 798 by 164, we get 4 with a remainder of 142.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74.0
The remainder is 142 after subtracting 656 from 798.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 142, then repeat: 1427 / 164

Step 6:
164 can be fit into 1427 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 115.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 748.0
The remainder is 115 after subtracting 1312 from 1427.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 115 and continue with: 1155 / 164

Let's proceed to step 7:
1155 divided by 164 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7487.0
If we subtract 1148 from 1155, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 76 / 164

Moving on to step 8:
The number 164 fits into 76 0 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74870.0
Subtract 0 from 76 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 760 by 164, we get 4 with a remainder of 104.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 74870.4
The remainder is 104 after subtracting 656 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 1040 by 164, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74870.46
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 984 from 1040.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 560 by 164, we get 3 with a remainder of 68.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74870.463
Subtracting 492 from 560 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 680 by 164, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74870.4634
If we subtract 656 from 680, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
164 can be fit into 240 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 74870.46341
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 164 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 14:
164 can be fit into 760 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 104.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74870.463414
The remainder is 104 after subtracting 656 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
164 can be fit into 1040 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 74870.4634146
Deduct 984 from 1040 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 164 fits into 560 3 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74870.46341463
Deduct 492 from 560 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 74870.46341463 with a balance of 6.8e-08.
