278041 ÷ 29 
We want to divide 278041 by 29.

Going ahead to step 1:
29 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 29

Moving on to step 2:
29 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
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 / 29

Advancing to step 3:
278 divided by 29 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 261 from 278 to get 17.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 170 / 29

Step 4:
170 divided by 29 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 95.0
If we take 145 away from 170, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 254 / 29

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 254 by 29, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 958.0
If we subtract 232 from 254, we get 22.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 221 / 29

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 221 by 29, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9587.0
Subtracting 203 from 221 leaves us with 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 7:
180 divided by 29 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9587.6
If we subtract 174 from 180, we 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 29, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9587.62
Subtract 58 from 60 to 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.

Step 9:
The number 29 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9587.62
If we take 0 away from 20, 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
200 divided by 29 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9587.6206
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 11:
29 can be fit into 260 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9587.62068
If we subtract 232 from 260, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 12:
280 divided by 29 is 9 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9587.620689
Deduct 261 from 280 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 13:
29 goes into 190 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9587.6206896
Deduct 174 from 190 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 160 by 29, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9587.62068965
If we take 145 away from 160, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 9587.62068965 and a remainder of 1.5e-08.
