48740527 divided by 178 
We're looking to find how many times 178 goes into 48740527.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 178 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 178

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 178 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 487 / 178

Advancing to step 3:
178 goes into 487 2 times with a remainder of 131.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 356 from 487 and we're left with 131.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 131 and continue: 1314 / 178

Step 4:
When dividing 1314 by 178, we get 7 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 1246 from 1314 leaves us with 68.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 680 / 178

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 178 fits into 680 3 times, leaving a remainder of 146.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 273.0
If we subtract 534 from 680, we get 146.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 146, then repeat: 1465 / 178

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 1465 by 178, we get 8 and a remainder of 41.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2738.0
Subtract 1424 from 1465 to get 41.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 412 / 178

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 178 fits into 412 2 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27382.0
If we subtract 356 from 412, we get 56.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 567 / 178

Step 8:
When dividing 567 by 178, we get 3 with a remainder of 33.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 273823.0
Deduct 534 from 567 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
178 can be fit into 330 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 152.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 273823.1
Subtract 178 from 330 to get 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 178 fits into 1520 8 times, leaving a remainder of 96.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 273823.18
Deduct 1424 from 1520 and we're left with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 178 fits into 960 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 273823.185
If we take 890 away from 960, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 700 by 178, we get 3 with a remainder of 166.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 273823.1853
If we subtract 534 from 700, we get 166.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 1660 by 178, we get 9 with a remainder of 58.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 273823.18539
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 1602 from 1660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
178 goes into 580 3 times with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 273823.185393
If we subtract 534 from 580, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 460 by 178, we get 2 with a remainder of 104.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 273823.1853932
Deduct 356 from 460 and we're left with 104.
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 16:
If we divide 1040 by 178, we get 5 and a remainder of 150.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 273823.18539325
Subtracting 890 from 1040 leaves us with 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 273823.18539325 with a balance of 1.5e-07.
