We divide 48571714 by 278
We want to divide 48571714 by 278.

On to step 1:
278 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 278

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 278, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 485 / 278

Step 3:
If we divide 485 by 278, we get 1 and a remainder of 207.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 278 from 485 leaves us with 207.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 207 and repeat the process: 2077 / 278

Going ahead to step 4:
278 can be fit into 2077 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 131.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 1946 from 2077 to get 131.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 131 and repeat the process: 1311 / 278

On to step 5:
The number 278 fits into 1311 4 times, leaving a remainder of 199.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtracting 1112 from 1311 leaves us with 199.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 199 and continue: 1997 / 278

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 278 fits into 1997 7 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1747.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 1946 from 1997.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 511 / 278

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 511 by 278, we get 1 and a remainder of 233.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17471.0
If we subtract 278 from 511, we get 233.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 233, then repeat: 2334 / 278

Step 8:
2334 divided by 278 is 8 with a remainder of 110.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174718.0
Deduct 2224 from 2334 and we're left with 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
278 can be fit into 1100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 266.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 174718.3
Deduct 834 from 1100 and we're left with 266.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
278 goes into 2660 9 times with a remainder of 158.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174718.39
If we subtract 2502 from 2660, we get 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Step 11:
1580 divided by 278 is 5 with a remainder of 190.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 174718.395
The remainder is 190 after subtracting 1390 from 1580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
1900 divided by 278 is 6 with a remainder of 232.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174718.3956
Deduct 1668 from 1900 and we're left with 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
2320 divided by 278 is 8 with a remainder of 96.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 174718.39568
Subtract 2224 from 2320 to get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 278 fits into 960 3 times, leaving a remainder of 126.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 174718.395683
The remainder is 126 after subtracting 834 from 960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Step 15:
278 goes into 1260 4 times with a remainder of 148.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174718.3956834
Deduct 1112 from 1260 and we're left with 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 278 fits into 1480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 90.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174718.39568345
Deduct 1390 from 1480 and we're left with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 174718.39568345, and the remainder is 9e-08.
