We're dividing 39684946 by 178 
Let's see how many times 178 fits into 39684946.

Step 1:
178 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 178

Advancing to step 2:
178 goes into 39 0 times with a remainder of 39.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 39 and we're left with 39.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 396 / 178

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 396 by 178, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 356 from 396, we get 40.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 178

Step 4:
408 divided by 178 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 356 from 408.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 524 / 178

Step 5:
When dividing 524 by 178, we get 2 with a remainder of 168.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 222.0
Deduct 356 from 524 and we're left with 168.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 168 and continue with: 1689 / 178

On to step 6:
178 goes into 1689 9 times with a remainder of 87.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2229.0
Subtract 1602 from 1689 to get 87.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 87 and repeat the process: 874 / 178

Advancing to step 7:
874 divided by 178 is 4 with a remainder of 162.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22294.0
Subtract 712 from 874 to get 162.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 162 and continue with: 1626 / 178

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 1626 by 178, we get 9 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 222949.0
Subtracting 1602 from 1626 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
178 goes into 240 1 times with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 222949.1
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 178 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 10:
620 divided by 178 is 3 with a remainder of 86.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 222949.13
Subtracting 534 from 620 leaves us with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
860 divided by 178 is 4 with a remainder of 148.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 222949.134
Subtracting 712 from 860 leaves us with 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
178 can be fit into 1480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 222949.1348
Subtracting 1424 from 1480 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
560 divided by 178 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 222949.13483
If we take 534 away from 560, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 260 by 178, we get 1 and a remainder of 82.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 222949.134831
If we subtract 178 from 260, we get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
178 can be fit into 820 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 108.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 222949.1348314
If we take 712 away from 820, we end up with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Step 16:
When dividing 1080 by 178, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 222949.13483146
If we take 1068 away from 1080, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 222949.13483146 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
