We look at the division of 278508 by 28 
Let's see how many times 28 fits into 278508.

Let's proceed to step 1:
28 goes into 2 0 times with 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.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 28

Going ahead to step 2:
28 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 28

On to step 3:
When dividing 278 by 28, we get 9 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 252 from 278 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 265 / 28

On to step 4:
When dividing 265 by 28, we get 9 with a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 99.0
If we subtract 252 from 265, we get 13.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 130 / 28

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 130 by 28, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 994.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 112 from 130.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 188 / 28

On to step 6:
The number 28 fits into 188 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9946.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 168 from 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 28 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 9946.7
Deduct 196 from 200 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 28 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9946.71
Subtract 28 from 40 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
28 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9946.714
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 112 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
80 divided by 28 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9946.7142
Subtract 56 from 80 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 28, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9946.71428
Subtracting 224 from 240 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
28 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9946.714285
Subtracting 140 from 160 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 28 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9946.7142857
Subtract 196 from 200 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 40 by 28, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9946.71428571
If we subtract 28 from 40, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9946.71428571 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
