We're dividing 87456179 by 548 
We're looking to find how many times 548 goes into 87456179.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 548, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 548

Advancing to step 2:
548 can be fit into 87 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 87.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 87 after subtracting 0 from 87.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 87, then repeat: 874 / 548

Step 3:
548 goes into 874 1 times with a remainder of 326.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 548 away from 874, we end up with 326.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 326, then repeat: 3265 / 548

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 3265 by 548, we get 5 and a remainder of 525.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 2740 away from 3265, we end up with 525.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 525 and continue: 5256 / 548

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 5256 by 548, we get 9 with a remainder of 324.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 159.0
Subtract 4932 from 5256 to get 324.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 324, then repeat: 3241 / 548

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 548 fits into 3241 5 times, leaving a remainder of 501.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1595.0
Subtracting 2740 from 3241 leaves us with 501.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 501, then carry on: 5017 / 548

Advancing to step 7:
5017 divided by 548 is 9 with a remainder of 85.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 15959.0
Subtract 4932 from 5017 to get 85.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 85, then carry on: 859 / 548

On to step 8:
548 can be fit into 859 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 311.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159591.0
If we take 548 away from 859, we end up with 311.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3110, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
548 can be fit into 3110 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 370.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159591.5
If we subtract 2740 from 3110, we get 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3700, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 3700 by 548, we get 6 and a remainder of 412.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159591.56
Subtract 3288 from 3700 to get 412.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 548 fits into 4120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 284.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159591.567
Subtract 3836 from 4120 to get 284.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 548 fits into 2840 5 times, leaving a remainder of 100.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159591.5675
Subtract 2740 from 2840 to get 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 1000 by 548, we get 1 with a remainder of 452.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159591.56751
The remainder is 452 after subtracting 548 from 1000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 4520 by 548, we get 8 and a remainder of 136.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159591.567518
Subtracting 4384 from 4520 leaves us with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Step 15:
548 goes into 1360 2 times with a remainder of 264.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 159591.5675182
The remainder is 264 after subtracting 1096 from 1360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
548 goes into 2640 4 times with a remainder of 448.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159591.56751824
Deduct 2192 from 2640 and we're left with 448.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4480, and continue the process.

The final result is 159591.56751824 with a remainder of 4.48e-07.
