Let's divide 278755 by 45
We want to divide 278755 by 45.

Advancing to step 1:
45 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 45

Going ahead to step 2:
27 divided by 45 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 278 / 45

Step 3:
The number 45 fits into 278 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 270 from 278.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 45

Advancing to step 4:
87 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 42.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we subtract 45 from 87, we get 42.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 425 / 45

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 425 by 45, we get 9 and a remainder of 20.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 619.0
Deduct 405 from 425 and we're left with 20.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 205 / 45

Advancing to step 6:
45 goes into 205 4 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6194.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 180 from 205.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
45 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6194.5
Subtract 225 from 250 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
45 can be fit into 250 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6194.55
Subtract 225 from 250 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6194.55 with a balance of 0.025.
