Let's divide 278485 by 68
We want to divide 278485 by 68.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 68, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
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 / 68

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 68, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 278 / 68

Let's proceed to step 3:
278 divided by 68 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 272 from 278 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 64 / 68

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 64 by 68, we get 0 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtracting 0 from 64 leaves us with 64.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 64, then carry on: 648 / 68

Step 5:
68 goes into 648 9 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 409.0
Deduct 612 from 648 and we're left with 36.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 365 / 68

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 365 by 68, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4095.0
Subtracting 340 from 365 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 250 by 68, we get 3 with a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4095.3
If we take 204 away from 250, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
460 divided by 68 is 6 with a remainder of 52.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4095.36
Subtract 408 from 460 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
520 divided by 68 is 7 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4095.367
If we subtract 476 from 520, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 68 fits into 440 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4095.3676
Subtract 408 from 440 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 68, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4095.36764
Subtracting 272 from 320 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 480 by 68, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4095.367647
Deduct 476 from 480 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 40 by 68, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4095.367647
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.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 68 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4095.36764705
Subtracting 340 from 400 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The final result is 4095.36764705 with a remainder of 6e-08.
