Let's divide 73542168 by 278
We want to divide 73542168 by 278.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 278 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 278

Moving on to step 2:
73 divided by 278 is 0 with a remainder of 73.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 73, we end up with 73.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 735 / 278

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 735 by 278, we get 2 with a remainder of 179.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 556 away from 735, we end up with 179.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 179, then repeat: 1794 / 278

Advancing to step 4:
The number 278 fits into 1794 6 times, leaving a remainder of 126.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 1668 from 1794 and we're left with 126.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 126 and continue with: 1262 / 278

Advancing to step 5:
278 goes into 1262 4 times with a remainder of 150.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 264.0
Deduct 1112 from 1262 and we're left with 150.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 150, then repeat: 1501 / 278

Step 6:
The number 278 fits into 1501 5 times, leaving a remainder of 111.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2645.0
If we subtract 1390 from 1501, we get 111.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 111, then repeat: 1116 / 278

Going ahead to step 7:
1116 divided by 278 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 26454.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 1112 from 1116.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 278

Moving on to step 8:
278 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 264540.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 480 by 278, we get 1 and a remainder of 202.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 264540.1
Subtract 278 from 480 to get 202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2020, and continue the process.

Step 10:
278 can be fit into 2020 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 264540.17
If we subtract 1946 from 2020, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 740 by 278, we get 2 with a remainder of 184.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 264540.172
The remainder is 184 after subtracting 556 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 1840 by 278, we get 6 with a remainder of 172.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 264540.1726
Subtract 1668 from 1840 to get 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Step 13:
278 goes into 1720 6 times with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 264540.17266
Deduct 1668 from 1720 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 264540.17266 with a balance of 5.2e-05.
