Let's divide 278248 by 29
We want to figure out the number of times 278248 can be divided by 29.

Let's proceed to step 1:
29 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 29

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 29, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 29

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 278 by 29, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 261 from 278 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 172 / 29

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 172 by 29, we get 5 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 95.0
Subtracting 145 from 172 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 274 / 29

Step 5:
274 divided by 29 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 959.0
Deduct 261 from 274 and we're left with 13.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 138 / 29

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 29 fits into 138 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9594.0
Subtracting 116 from 138 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 29, we get 7 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9594.7
Deduct 203 from 220 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 29 fits into 170 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9594.75
If we subtract 145 from 170, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 9:
250 divided by 29 is 8 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9594.758
Subtract 232 from 250 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
29 goes into 180 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9594.7586
Subtract 174 from 180 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
60 divided by 29 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9594.75862
Subtracting 58 from 60 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 29 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9594.75862
Subtract 0 from 20 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 13:
200 divided by 29 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9594.7586206
If we subtract 174 from 200, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 260 by 29, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9594.75862068
Subtracting 232 from 260 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 9594.75862068 with a balance of 2.8e-08.
