We look at the division of 278940 by 62 
We want to divide 278940 by 62.

On to step 1:
The number 62 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 62

Let's proceed to step 2:
27 divided by 62 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 62

Going ahead to step 3:
278 divided by 62 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 248 from 278 to get 30.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 309 / 62

Advancing to step 4:
The number 62 fits into 309 4 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44.0
Deduct 248 from 309 and we're left with 61.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 614 / 62

Let's proceed to step 5:
62 can be fit into 614 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 449.0
Subtracting 558 from 614 leaves us with 56.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 560 / 62

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 560 by 62, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4499.0
If we subtract 558 from 560, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
62 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4499.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 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 8:
If we divide 200 by 62, we get 3 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4499.03
If we subtract 186 from 200, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 140 by 62, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4499.032
If we subtract 124 from 140, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 62, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4499.0322
Deduct 124 from 160 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4499.0322 with a remaining 0.00036.
