48438479 ÷ 174 
We want to divide 48438479 by 174.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 174 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 174

Advancing to step 2:
48 divided by 174 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 484 / 174

Advancing to step 3:
484 divided by 174 is 2 with a remainder of 136.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 348 from 484, we get 136.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 136 and continue with: 1363 / 174

Going ahead to step 4:
1363 divided by 174 is 7 with a remainder of 145.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 1218 from 1363 to get 145.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 145, then carry on: 1458 / 174

Step 5:
The number 174 fits into 1458 8 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 278.0
If we take 1392 away from 1458, we end up with 66.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 664 / 174

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 664 by 174, we get 3 and a remainder of 142.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2783.0
If we take 522 away from 664, we end up with 142.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 142 and continue: 1427 / 174

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 1427 by 174, we get 8 with a remainder of 35.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27838.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 1392 from 1427.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 359 / 174

Step 8:
359 divided by 174 is 2 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 278382.0
Subtract 348 from 359 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 110 by 174, we get 0 and a remainder of 110.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 278382.0
The remainder is 110 after subtracting 0 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 1100 by 174, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 278382.06
If we take 1044 away from 1100, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 174 fits into 560 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 278382.063
If we subtract 522 from 560, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
174 goes into 380 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 278382.0632
Deduct 348 from 380 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
320 divided by 174 is 1 with a remainder of 146.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 278382.06321
The remainder is 146 after subtracting 174 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 1460 by 174, we get 8 and a remainder of 68.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 278382.063218
Subtract 1392 from 1460 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
680 divided by 174 is 3 with a remainder of 158.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 278382.0632183
Subtract 522 from 680 to get 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
If we divide 1580 by 174, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 278382.06321839
Subtract 1566 from 1580 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final result is 278382.06321839 with a remainder of 1.4e-08.
