We're dividing 87459473 by 478 
We want to divide 87459473 by 478.

Step 1:
478 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 478

Advancing to step 2:
The number 478 fits into 87 0 times, leaving a remainder of 87.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 87 and we're left with 87.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 87 and continue with: 874 / 478

Step 3:
874 divided by 478 is 1 with a remainder of 396.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 396 after subtracting 478 from 874.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 396 and continue: 3965 / 478

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 478 fits into 3965 8 times, leaving a remainder of 141.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 3824 from 3965 to get 141.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 141 and continue: 1419 / 478

Moving on to step 5:
478 can be fit into 1419 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 463.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 182.0
The remainder is 463 after subtracting 956 from 1419.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 463, then repeat: 4634 / 478

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 4634 by 478, we get 9 and a remainder of 332.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1829.0
Subtracting 4302 from 4634 leaves us with 332.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 332 and continue with: 3327 / 478

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 3327 by 478, we get 6 and a remainder of 459.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18296.0
Deduct 2868 from 3327 and we're left with 459.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 459, then repeat: 4593 / 478

On to step 8:
478 goes into 4593 9 times with a remainder of 291.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 182969.0
Subtracting 4302 from 4593 leaves us with 291.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2910, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 2910 by 478, we get 6 and a remainder of 42.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 182969.6
If we take 2868 away from 2910, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 478 fits into 420 0 times, leaving a remainder of 420.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 182969.6
Deduct 0 from 420 and we're left with 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
4200 divided by 478 is 8 with a remainder of 376.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 182969.608
Subtract 3824 from 4200 to get 376.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
478 goes into 3760 7 times with a remainder of 414.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 182969.6087
If we subtract 3346 from 3760, we get 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 4140 by 478, we get 8 with a remainder of 316.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 182969.60878
Subtracting 3824 from 4140 leaves us with 316.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3160, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
3160 divided by 478 is 6 with a remainder of 292.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 182969.608786
If we subtract 2868 from 3160, we get 292.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 2920 by 478, we get 6 with a remainder of 52.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 182969.6087866
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 2868 from 2920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 182969.6087866, with a leftover of 5.2e-07.
