We divide 278809 by 45
Our goal is to divide 278809 by 45.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 45, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 45

On to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 45, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 45

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 278 by 45, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 270 from 278, we get 8.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 88 / 45

Going ahead to step 4:
88 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we take 45 away from 88, we end up with 43.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 430 / 45

Moving on to step 5:
45 goes into 430 9 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 619.0
Deduct 405 from 430 and we're left with 25.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 259 / 45

Advancing to step 6:
259 divided by 45 is 5 with a remainder of 34.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6195.0
If we subtract 225 from 259, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 340 by 45, we get 7 and a remainder of 25.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6195.7
Subtract 315 from 340 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 250 by 45, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6195.75
Subtract 225 from 250 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
45 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6195.755
Deduct 225 from 250 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6195.755, and the remainder is 0.0025.
