We look at the division of 41173478 by 278 
We want to divide 41173478 by 278.

On to step 1:
278 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 278

Step 2:
278 can be fit into 41 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 41 leaves us with 41.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 411 / 278

On to step 3:
278 goes into 411 1 times with a remainder of 133.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 278 away from 411, we end up with 133.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 133 and continue: 1337 / 278

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 1337 by 278, we get 4 with a remainder of 225.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 1112 away from 1337, we end up with 225.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 225, then repeat: 2253 / 278

Step 5:
278 goes into 2253 8 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148.0
Subtracting 2224 from 2253 leaves us with 29.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 294 / 278

Step 6:
294 divided by 278 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1481.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 278 from 294.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 167 / 278

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 167 by 278, we get 0 and a remainder of 167.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14810.0
Subtract 0 from 167 to get 167.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 167 and continue: 1678 / 278

On to step 8:
278 can be fit into 1678 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 148106.0
Subtracting 1668 from 1678 leaves us with 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 9:
If we divide 100 by 278, we get 0 and a remainder of 100.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 148106.0
If we take 0 away from 100, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 1000 by 278, we get 3 with a remainder of 166.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148106.03
The remainder is 166 after subtracting 834 from 1000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 1660 by 278, we get 5 with a remainder of 270.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 148106.035
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
278 can be fit into 2700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 198.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148106.0359
The remainder is 198 after subtracting 2502 from 2700.
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 13:
The number 278 fits into 1980 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148106.03597
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
340 divided by 278 is 1 with a remainder of 62.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 148106.035971
Subtracting 278 from 340 leaves us 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.

On to step 15:
278 can be fit into 620 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148106.0359712
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 556 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 16:
278 can be fit into 640 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148106.03597122
Subtract 556 from 640 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

The final result is 148106.03597122 with a remainder of 8.4e-08.
