We look at the division of 48616376 by 278 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 278 in 48616376.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 278 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 278

On to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 278, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 486 / 278

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 486 by 278, we get 1 with a remainder of 208.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 278 from 486, we get 208.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 208, then repeat: 2081 / 278

On to step 4:
When dividing 2081 by 278, we get 7 with a remainder of 135.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 1946 from 2081 leaves us with 135.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 135 and repeat the process: 1356 / 278

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 1356 by 278, we get 4 and a remainder of 244.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174.0
The remainder is 244 after subtracting 1112 from 1356.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 244, then repeat: 2443 / 278

Step 6:
278 can be fit into 2443 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 219.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1748.0
If we subtract 2224 from 2443, we get 219.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 219, then carry on: 2197 / 278

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 2197 by 278, we get 7 and a remainder of 251.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17487.0
Deduct 1946 from 2197 and we're left with 251.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 251 and continue: 2516 / 278

On to step 8:
278 goes into 2516 9 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 174879.0
Deduct 2502 from 2516 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 140 by 278, we get 0 and a remainder of 140.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174879.0
Subtract 0 from 140 to get 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
278 can be fit into 1400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 174879.05
If we subtract 1390 from 1400, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
278 goes into 100 0 times with a remainder of 100.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174879.05
Deduct 0 from 100 and we're left with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 1000 by 278, we get 3 with a remainder of 166.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 174879.0503
Subtracting 834 from 1000 leaves us with 166.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 1660 by 278, we get 5 and a remainder of 270.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 174879.05035
If we subtract 1390 from 1660, we get 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2700, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 2700 by 278, we get 9 and a remainder of 198.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 174879.050359
If we take 2502 away from 2700, we end up with 198.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1980, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
278 goes into 1980 7 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 174879.0503597
If we take 1946 away from 1980, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
278 can be fit into 340 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 174879.05035971
Deduct 278 from 340 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 174879.05035971, with a leftover of 6.2e-08.
