We divide 278012 by 55
Let's see how many times 55 fits into 278012.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 55

Step 2:
55 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 55

On to step 3:
If we divide 278 by 55, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 275 from 278, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 30 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
30 divided by 55 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 301 / 55

Going ahead to step 5:
55 can be fit into 301 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 505.0
Deduct 275 from 301 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 262 / 55

Step 6:
If we divide 262 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5054.0
Subtract 220 from 262 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 420 by 55, we get 7 and a remainder of 35.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5054.7
Subtract 385 from 420 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5054.76
Subtract 330 from 350 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
55 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5054.763
If we subtract 165 from 200, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
350 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5054.7636
If we take 330 away from 350, we end up 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.

Step 11:
When dividing 200 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5054.76363
If we subtract 165 from 200, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 350 by 55, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5054.763636
Deduct 330 from 350 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5054.7636363
If we take 165 away from 200, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 14:
55 goes into 350 6 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5054.76363636
Deduct 330 from 350 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 5054.76363636 and a remainder of 2e-08.
