We're dividing 48558046 by 278 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 278 in 48558046.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 278 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 278

Step 2:
48 divided by 278 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 485 / 278

Step 3:
278 goes into 485 1 times with a remainder of 207.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 207 after subtracting 278 from 485.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 207, then repeat: 2075 / 278

Step 4:
The number 278 fits into 2075 7 times, leaving a remainder of 129.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 1946 from 2075, we get 129.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 129, then carry on: 1298 / 278

Advancing to step 5:
278 can be fit into 1298 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 186.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtracting 1112 from 1298 leaves us with 186.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 186 and continue with: 1860 / 278

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 1860 by 278, we get 6 with a remainder of 192.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1746.0
If we take 1668 away from 1860, we end up with 192.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 192 and continue: 1924 / 278

Moving on to step 7:
1924 divided by 278 is 6 with a remainder of 256.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17466.0
Subtracting 1668 from 1924 leaves us with 256.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 256, then repeat: 2566 / 278

Moving on to step 8:
2566 divided by 278 is 9 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174669.0
Subtract 2502 from 2566 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 640 by 278, we get 2 and a remainder of 84.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 174669.2
Subtracting 556 from 640 leaves us with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
278 goes into 840 3 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 174669.23
If we take 834 away from 840, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
278 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 174669.23
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
600 divided by 278 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174669.2302
Deduct 556 from 600 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
278 can be fit into 440 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 162.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 174669.23021
Deduct 278 from 440 and we're left with 162.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
278 goes into 1620 5 times with a remainder of 230.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174669.230215
If we subtract 1390 from 1620, we get 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
278 goes into 2300 8 times with a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 174669.2302158
If we take 2224 away from 2300, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
760 divided by 278 is 2 with a remainder of 204.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 174669.23021582
Subtract 556 from 760 to get 204.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2040, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 174669.23021582 and a remainder of 2.04e-07.
