We look at the division of 278524 by 6 
We're looking to find how many times 6 goes into 278524.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 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
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 6

Step 2:
If we divide 27 by 6, we get 4 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 24 from 27 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 6

On to step 3:
When dividing 38 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we take 36 away from 38, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 6

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 25 by 6, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 464.0
Subtract 24 from 25 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 6

Advancing to step 5:
12 divided by 6 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4642.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 12 from 12.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 6

Moving on to step 6:
6 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46420.0
Deduct 0 from 4 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 6 fits into 40 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46420.6
Subtracting 36 from 40 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
6 can be fit into 40 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46420.66
Deduct 36 from 40 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 46420.66 with a balance of 0.004.
