Let's divide 277869 by 5
We're looking to find how many times 5 goes into 277869.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 5

Step 2:
5 can be fit into 27 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 25 from 27.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 5

Advancing to step 3:
5 can be fit into 27 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtracting 25 from 27 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 5

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 28 by 5, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 555.0
If we take 25 away from 28, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 36 / 5

On to step 5:
5 goes into 36 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5557.0
Subtract 35 from 36 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 5

Going ahead to step 6:
5 goes into 19 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55573.0
Subtracting 15 from 19 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 5 fits into 40 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55573.8
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 40 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55573.8
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
5 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55573.8
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 55573.8 with a balance of 0.0.
