We look at the division of 278557 by 1 
We're looking to find how many times 1 goes into 278557.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 1 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 2 from 2 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 1

Step 2:
1 goes into 7 7 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 7 from 7 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 1

Step 3:
1 goes into 8 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 278.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 5 / 1

Step 4:
When dividing 5 by 1, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2785.0
Deduct 5 from 5 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 5 / 1

Moving on to step 5:
5 divided by 1 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27855.0
If we subtract 5 from 5, we get 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 1

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 1 fits into 7 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 278557.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 7 from 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 1, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 278557.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 1, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 278557.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 278557.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
