We look at the division of 46878313 by 279 
Let's see how many times 279 fits into 46878313.

On to step 1:
279 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 279

Step 2:
279 goes into 46 0 times with a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 46 and we're left with 46.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 468 / 279

Step 3:
When dividing 468 by 279, we get 1 with a remainder of 189.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 189 after subtracting 279 from 468.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 189 and repeat the process: 1897 / 279

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 1897 by 279, we get 6 and a remainder of 223.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 1674 away from 1897, we end up with 223.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 223 and continue: 2238 / 279

Step 5:
279 can be fit into 2238 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 168.0
Deduct 2232 from 2238 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 63 / 279

On to step 6:
When dividing 63 by 279, we get 0 with a remainder of 63.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1680.0
Deduct 0 from 63 and we're left with 63.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 631 / 279

On to step 7:
279 can be fit into 631 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16802.0
If we take 558 away from 631, we end up with 73.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 733 / 279

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 733 by 279, we get 2 and a remainder of 175.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 168022.0
Subtracting 558 from 733 leaves us with 175.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1750, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
1750 divided by 279 is 6 with a remainder of 76.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 168022.6
Subtract 1674 from 1750 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 279 fits into 760 2 times, leaving a remainder of 202.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 168022.62
Subtracting 558 from 760 leaves us with 202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2020, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 279 fits into 2020 7 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 168022.627
If we subtract 1953 from 2020, we get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 670 by 279, we get 2 and a remainder of 112.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 168022.6272
If we take 558 away from 670, we end up with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
279 can be fit into 1120 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 168022.62724
If we subtract 1116 from 1120, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 40 by 279, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 168022.62724
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 400 by 279, we get 1 with a remainder of 121.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 168022.6272401
The remainder is 121 after subtracting 279 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 279 fits into 1210 4 times, leaving a remainder of 94.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 168022.62724014
The remainder is 94 after subtracting 1116 from 1210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 168022.62724014 and a remainder of 9.4e-08.
