We're dividing 278986 by 92 
We want to figure out the number of times 278986 can be divided by 92.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 92 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 92

Let's proceed to step 2:
27 divided by 92 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 92

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 278 by 92, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 276 away from 278, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 92

Let's proceed to step 4:
92 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 92

Going ahead to step 5:
92 can be fit into 298 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 303.0
Subtracting 276 from 298 leaves us with 22.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 226 / 92

Step 6:
92 goes into 226 2 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3032.0
Subtract 184 from 226 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 420 by 92, we get 4 with a remainder of 52.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3032.4
Deduct 368 from 420 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 520 by 92, we get 5 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3032.45
Subtracting 460 from 520 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
600 divided by 92 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3032.456
If we take 552 away from 600, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
480 divided by 92 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3032.4565
If we subtract 460 from 480, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 92, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3032.45652
Deduct 184 from 200 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 12:
92 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 68.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3032.456521
Subtract 92 from 160 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 92 fits into 680 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3032.4565217
Deduct 644 from 680 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
92 can be fit into 360 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3032.45652173
Subtract 276 from 360 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3032.45652173 with a balance of 8.4e-08.
