We're dividing 278018 by 70 
We want to divide 278018 by 70.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 70, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 70

Step 2:
The number 70 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 278 / 70

Step 3:
If we divide 278 by 70, we get 3 and a remainder of 68.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 210 away from 278, we end up with 68.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 680 / 70

Moving on to step 4:
70 can be fit into 680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtracting 630 from 680 leaves us with 50.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 501 / 70

Moving on to step 5:
The number 70 fits into 501 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 397.0
Subtracting 490 from 501 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 118 / 70

On to step 6:
70 can be fit into 118 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3971.0
If we subtract 70 from 118, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 480 by 70, we get 6 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3971.6
If we subtract 420 from 480, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
70 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3971.68
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 560 from 600.
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 9:
The number 70 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3971.685
If we subtract 350 from 400, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 10:
70 goes into 500 7 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3971.6857
Deduct 490 from 500 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 100 by 70, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3971.68571
If we take 70 away from 100, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 300 by 70, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3971.685714
Deduct 280 from 300 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
200 divided by 70 is 2 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3971.6857142
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 140 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 600 by 70, we get 8 and a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3971.68571428
Subtracting 560 from 600 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.

The final result is 3971.68571428 with a remainder of 4e-08.
