Let's divide 278238 by 10
We're looking to find how many times 10 goes into 278238.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 10 fits into 2 0 times, leaving 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.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 10

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 10, we get 2 with a remainder of 7.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 20 away from 27, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 10

Advancing to step 3:
10 goes into 78 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 70 from 78, we get 8.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 82 / 10

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 82 by 10, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 278.0
If we take 80 away from 82, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 10

On to step 5:
10 goes into 23 2 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2782.0
If we take 20 away from 23, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 10

Let's proceed to step 6:
10 can be fit into 38 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27823.0
Deduct 30 from 38 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
10 goes into 80 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27823.8
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 80 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 10 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 27823.8
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 0 by 10, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27823.8
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 27823.8 with a remainder of 0.0.
