We look at the division of 48945675 by 878 
Our goal is to divide 48945675 by 878.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 878 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.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 878

On to step 2:
The number 878 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 489 / 878

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 489 by 878, we get 0 and a remainder of 489.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 489 leaves us with 489.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 489, then repeat: 4894 / 878

On to step 4:
4894 divided by 878 is 5 with a remainder of 504.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 4390 from 4894, we get 504.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 504, then carry on: 5045 / 878

Step 5:
The number 878 fits into 5045 5 times, leaving a remainder of 655.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 655 after subtracting 4390 from 5045.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 655 and continue with: 6556 / 878

Let's proceed to step 6:
878 goes into 6556 7 times with a remainder of 410.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 557.0
Subtract 6146 from 6556 to get 410.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 410, then repeat: 4107 / 878

Moving on to step 7:
The number 878 fits into 4107 4 times, leaving a remainder of 595.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5574.0
If we subtract 3512 from 4107, we get 595.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 595 and continue with: 5955 / 878

Going ahead to step 8:
5955 divided by 878 is 6 with a remainder of 687.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55746.0
The remainder is 687 after subtracting 5268 from 5955.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6870, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 6870 by 878, we get 7 with a remainder of 724.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55746.7
Subtracting 6146 from 6870 leaves us with 724.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
7240 divided by 878 is 8 with a remainder of 216.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55746.78
If we take 7024 away from 7240, we end up with 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
2160 divided by 878 is 2 with a remainder of 404.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55746.782
Subtract 1756 from 2160 to get 404.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4040, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 4040 by 878, we get 4 and a remainder of 528.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 55746.7824
Subtract 3512 from 4040 to get 528.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5280, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 5280 by 878, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55746.78246
Subtract 5268 from 5280 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 120 by 878, we get 0 and a remainder of 120.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55746.78246
If we subtract 0 from 120, we get 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Step 15:
878 can be fit into 1200 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 322.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55746.7824601
The remainder is 322 after subtracting 878 from 1200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3220, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
878 can be fit into 3220 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 586.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55746.78246013
The remainder is 586 after subtracting 2634 from 3220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5860, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 55746.78246013 with a balance of 5.86e-07.
