We're dividing 278280 by 72 
Let's see how many times 72 fits into 278280.

On to step 1:
72 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 72

Step 2:
72 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in 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 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 278 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 62.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 216 from 278.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 62 and repeat the process: 622 / 72

On to step 4:
72 goes into 622 8 times with a remainder of 46.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we take 576 away from 622, we end up with 46.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 468 / 72

On to step 5:
468 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 386.0
Deduct 432 from 468 and we're left with 36.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 360 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 360 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3865.0
If we subtract 360 from 360, 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.

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3865.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3865.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3865.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
