We're dividing 2478887 by 162 
We want to figure out the number of times 2478887 can be divided by 162.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 162, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 162

On to step 2:
24 divided by 162 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 247 / 162

On to step 3:
When dividing 247 by 162, we get 1 with a remainder of 85.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 85 after subtracting 162 from 247.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 85 and continue: 858 / 162

On to step 4:
When dividing 858 by 162, we get 5 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 810 from 858 and we're left with 48.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 488 / 162

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 488 by 162, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 153.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 486 from 488.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 162

Step 6:
The number 162 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1530.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 287 / 162

On to step 7:
162 can be fit into 287 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 125.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15301.0
The remainder is 125 after subtracting 162 from 287.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 1250 by 162, we get 7 with a remainder of 116.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15301.7
If we subtract 1134 from 1250, we get 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 162 fits into 1160 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15301.77
Subtract 1134 from 1160 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15301.77 with a remaining 0.026.
