We look at the division of 8552178 by 478 
Our goal is to divide 8552178 by 478.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 478, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 85 / 478

On to step 2:
The number 478 fits into 85 0 times, leaving a remainder of 85.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 85, we end up with 85.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 85 and repeat the process: 855 / 478

On to step 3:
478 can be fit into 855 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 377.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 478 from 855 to get 377.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 377, then carry on: 3772 / 478

Step 4:
The number 478 fits into 3772 7 times, leaving a remainder of 426.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 426 after subtracting 3346 from 3772.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 426, then repeat: 4261 / 478

Advancing to step 5:
The number 478 fits into 4261 8 times, leaving a remainder of 437.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178.0
If we subtract 3824 from 4261, we get 437.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 437 and continue with: 4377 / 478

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 478 fits into 4377 9 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1789.0
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 4302 from 4377.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 75, then repeat: 758 / 478

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 758 by 478, we get 1 and a remainder of 280.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17891.0
The remainder is 280 after subtracting 478 from 758.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 2800 by 478, we get 5 with a remainder of 410.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17891.5
If we take 2390 away from 2800, we end up with 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 478 fits into 4100 8 times, leaving a remainder of 276.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17891.58
If we take 3824 away from 4100, we end up with 276.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
478 goes into 2760 5 times with a remainder of 370.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17891.585
If we subtract 2390 from 2760, we get 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3700, and continue the process.

Step 11:
478 goes into 3700 7 times with a remainder of 354.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17891.5857
Deduct 3346 from 3700 and we're left with 354.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
3540 divided by 478 is 7 with a remainder of 194.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17891.58577
The remainder is 194 after subtracting 3346 from 3540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1940, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17891.58577, with a leftover of 0.000194.
