Let's divide 278592 by 58
Our goal is to divide 278592 by 58.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 58, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 58

Advancing to step 2:
The number 58 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the 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 / 58

On to step 3:
If we divide 278 by 58, we get 4 and a remainder of 46.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 232 away from 278, we end up with 46.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 465 / 58

Step 4:
When dividing 465 by 58, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtract 464 from 465 to get 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 58

Step 5:
58 can be fit into 19 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 480.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 192 / 58

Step 6:
If we divide 192 by 58, we get 3 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4803.0
Deduct 174 from 192 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
58 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4803.3
Deduct 174 from 180 and we're left with 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 8:
If we divide 60 by 58, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4803.31
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.

Step 9:
58 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4803.31
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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 10:
58 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4803.3103
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 174 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 260 by 58, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4803.31034
Deduct 232 from 260 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 58 fits into 280 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4803.310344
If we subtract 232 from 280, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4803.310344 and a remainder of 4.8e-06.
