We're dividing 42849848 by 178 
We want to figure out the number of times 42849848 can be divided by 178.

On to step 1:
The number 178 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 178

Advancing to step 2:
178 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 428 / 178

Going ahead to step 3:
178 goes into 428 2 times with a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 356 from 428.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 724 / 178

Let's proceed to step 4:
178 goes into 724 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 712 from 724, we get 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 178

On to step 5:
When dividing 129 by 178, we get 0 with a remainder of 129.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 240.0
The remainder is 129 after subtracting 0 from 129.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 129 and continue with: 1298 / 178

Step 6:
178 can be fit into 1298 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2407.0
If we take 1246 away from 1298, we end up with 52.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 524 / 178

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 178 fits into 524 2 times, leaving a remainder of 168.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 24072.0
If we take 356 away from 524, we end up with 168.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 168, then repeat: 1688 / 178

Step 8:
If we divide 1688 by 178, we get 9 and a remainder of 86.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 240729.0
Deduct 1602 from 1688 and we're left with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Step 9:
860 divided by 178 is 4 with a remainder of 148.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 240729.4
Deduct 712 from 860 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 10:
178 can be fit into 1480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 240729.48
Subtracting 1424 from 1480 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
178 can be fit into 560 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 240729.483
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 534 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
178 can be fit into 260 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 82.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 240729.4831
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 178 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 820 by 178, we get 4 with a remainder of 108.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 240729.48314
The remainder is 108 after subtracting 712 from 820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 1080 by 178, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 240729.483146
Subtracting 1068 from 1080 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
120 divided by 178 is 0 with a remainder of 120.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 240729.483146
Subtracting 0 from 120 leaves us with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 1200 by 178, we get 6 and a remainder of 132.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 240729.48314606
Subtract 1068 from 1200 to get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 240729.48314606, and the remainder is 1.32e-07.
