We divide 278750 by 71
We want to figure out the number of times 278750 can be divided by 71.

Step 1:
71 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 71

Step 2:
When dividing 27 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 71

Moving on to step 3:
The number 71 fits into 278 3 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 213 from 278 and we're left with 65.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 657 / 71

On to step 4:
If we divide 657 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtracting 639 from 657 leaves us with 18.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 185 / 71

On to step 5:
71 can be fit into 185 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 392.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 142 from 185.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 430 / 71

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 430 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3926.0
Subtracting 426 from 430 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3926.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
71 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3926.05
Subtract 355 from 400 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 450 by 71, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3926.056
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 426 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 240 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3926.0563
If we subtract 213 from 240, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 270 by 71, we get 3 with a remainder of 57.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3926.05633
If we take 213 away from 270, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

The final result is 3926.05633 with a remainder of 5.7e-05.
