We divide 58798429 by 278
We want to divide 58798429 by 278.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 278, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 278

Step 2:
When dividing 58 by 278, we get 0 with a remainder of 58.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 58 to get 58.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 587 / 278

Going ahead to step 3:
278 can be fit into 587 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 556 away from 587, we end up with 31.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 319 / 278

Let's proceed to step 4:
319 divided by 278 is 1 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 278 from 319 to get 41.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 418 / 278

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 418 by 278, we get 1 and a remainder of 140.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 211.0
The remainder is 140 after subtracting 278 from 418.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 140, then carry on: 1404 / 278

Step 6:
The number 278 fits into 1404 5 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2115.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 1390 from 1404.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 142 / 278

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 142 by 278, we get 0 with a remainder of 142.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21150.0
Subtract 0 from 142 to get 142.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 142 and continue with: 1429 / 278

On to step 8:
The number 278 fits into 1429 5 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 211505.0
Deduct 1390 from 1429 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 9:
278 can be fit into 390 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 112.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 211505.1
The remainder is 112 after subtracting 278 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Step 10:
278 can be fit into 1120 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 211505.14
Subtract 1112 from 1120 to get 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 11:
278 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 211505.14
If we subtract 0 from 80, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
278 can be fit into 800 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 244.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 211505.1402
Deduct 556 from 800 and we're left with 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

Step 13:
2440 divided by 278 is 8 with a remainder of 216.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 211505.14028
If we take 2224 away from 2440, we end up with 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 2160 by 278, we get 7 with a remainder of 214.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 211505.140287
The remainder is 214 after subtracting 1946 from 2160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
278 goes into 2140 7 times with a remainder of 194.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 211505.1402877
Subtract 1946 from 2140 to get 194.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1940, and continue the process.

The final result is 211505.1402877 with a remainder of 1.94e-06.
