178 goes into 127 0 times with a remainder of 127.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtract 0 from 127 to get 127.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 127 and continue: 1270 / 178

Moving on to step 5:
1270 divided by 178 is 7 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 407.0
If we take 1246 away from 1270, we end up with 24.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 248 / 178

On to step 6:
178 goes into 248 1 times with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4071.0
Deduct 178 from 248 and we're left with 70.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 709 / 178

On to step 7:
178 goes into 709 3 times with a remainder of 175.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40713.0
Deduct 534 from 709 and we're left with 175.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 175 and continue with: 1756 / 178

Step 8:
178 can be fit into 1756 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 154.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 407139.0
If we take 1602 away from 1756, we end up with 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
178 can be fit into 1540 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 116.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 407139.8
Subtracting 1424 from 1540 leaves us with 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 1160 by 178, we get 6 with a remainder of 92.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 407139.86
If we subtract 1068 from 1160, we get 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
178 can be fit into 920 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 407139.865
If we subtract 890 from 920, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
300 divided by 178 is 1 with a remainder of 122.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 407139.8651
The remainder is 122 after subtracting 178 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 1220 by 178, we get 6 with a remainder of 152.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 407139.86516
Subtracting 1068 from 1220 leaves us with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 1520 by 178, we get 8 with a remainder of 96.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 407139.865168
Subtract 1424 from 1520 to get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 960 by 178, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 407139.8651685
If we subtract 890 from 960, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 178 fits into 700 3 times, leaving a remainder of 166.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 407139.86516853
The remainder is 166 after subtracting 534 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Our division results in 407139.86516853 with a remaining 1.66e-07.
