We divide 278304 by 86
We're looking to find how many times 86 goes into 278304.

Let's proceed to step 1:
86 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 86

On to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 86, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 86

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 278 by 86, we get 3 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 258 away from 278, we end up with 20.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 203 / 86

On to step 4:
86 can be fit into 203 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 172 from 203 to get 31.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 310 / 86

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 86 fits into 310 3 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 323.0
If we take 258 away from 310, we end up with 52.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 524 / 86

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 524 by 86, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3236.0
Subtracting 516 from 524 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 86 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3236.0
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
800 divided by 86 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3236.09
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 774 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 260 by 86, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3236.093
If we subtract 258 from 260, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 86, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3236.093
Subtracting 0 from 20 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.

Moving on to step 11:
200 divided by 86 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3236.09302
If we take 172 away from 200, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
86 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3236.093023
Subtract 258 from 280 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 86 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3236.0930232
If we take 172 away from 220, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 86 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3236.09302325
If we take 430 away from 480, 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.

The final result is 3236.09302325 with a remainder of 5e-08.
