59480040 ÷ 278 
We want to figure out the number of times 59480040 can be divided by 278.

On to step 1:
The number 278 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 278

On to step 2:
278 can be fit into 59 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 59 to get 59.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 594 / 278

Going ahead to step 3:
594 divided by 278 is 2 with a remainder of 38.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 556 from 594 to get 38.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 388 / 278

On to step 4:
278 goes into 388 1 times with a remainder of 110.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 278 from 388, we get 110.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 110 and repeat the process: 1100 / 278

Going ahead to step 5:
278 goes into 1100 3 times with a remainder of 266.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 213.0
Subtracting 834 from 1100 leaves us with 266.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 266, then repeat: 2660 / 278

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 2660 by 278, we get 9 with a remainder of 158.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2139.0
Subtracting 2502 from 2660 leaves us with 158.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 158 and continue with: 1584 / 278

On to step 7:
278 can be fit into 1584 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 194.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21395.0
Deduct 1390 from 1584 and we're left with 194.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 194 and continue with: 1940 / 278

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 278 fits into 1940 6 times, leaving a remainder of 272.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 213956.0
Subtract 1668 from 1940 to get 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 2720 by 278, we get 9 with a remainder of 218.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 213956.9
Deduct 2502 from 2720 and we're left with 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 2180 by 278, we get 7 with a remainder of 234.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 213956.97
Subtract 1946 from 2180 to get 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 2340 by 278, we get 8 with a remainder of 116.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 213956.978
The remainder is 116 after subtracting 2224 from 2340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
278 goes into 1160 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 213956.9784
If we take 1112 away from 1160, 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.

Step 13:
If we divide 480 by 278, we get 1 and a remainder of 202.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 213956.97841
If we take 278 away from 480, we end up with 202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2020, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
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: 213956.978417
Subtracting 1946 from 2020 leaves us with 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 15:
When dividing 740 by 278, we get 2 with a remainder of 184.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 213956.9784172
If we subtract 556 from 740, we get 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
1840 divided by 278 is 6 with a remainder of 172.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 213956.97841726
If we take 1668 away from 1840, we end up with 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 213956.97841726, and the remainder is 1.72e-07.
