We're dividing 178982 by 75 
Let's see how many times 75 fits into 178982.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 75 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 75

On to step 2:
17 divided by 75 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 75

Step 3:
If we divide 178 by 75, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 150 from 178 to get 28.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 289 / 75

Advancing to step 4:
75 goes into 289 3 times with a remainder of 64.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtracting 225 from 289 leaves us with 64.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 648 / 75

Moving on to step 5:
75 goes into 648 8 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 238.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 600 from 648.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 482 / 75

On to step 6:
When dividing 482 by 75, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2386.0
If we subtract 450 from 482, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 320 by 75, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2386.4
Subtracting 300 from 320 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 75, we get 2 and a remainder of 50.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2386.42
Subtract 150 from 200 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 500 by 75, we get 6 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2386.426
If we take 450 away from 500, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 75 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2386.4266
Subtract 450 from 500 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2386.4266 with a remaining 0.0005.
