708672 ÷ 278 
We want to figure out the number of times 708672 can be divided by 278.

Advancing to step 1:
278 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 70 / 278

On to step 2:
278 goes into 70 0 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 70.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 708 / 278

Advancing to step 3:
278 can be fit into 708 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 152.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 152 after subtracting 556 from 708.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 152 and continue with: 1526 / 278

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 1526 by 278, we get 5 and a remainder of 136.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 1390 away from 1526, we end up with 136.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 136 and continue: 1367 / 278

Advancing to step 5:
278 can be fit into 1367 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 255.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 254.0
The remainder is 255 after subtracting 1112 from 1367.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 255 and repeat the process: 2552 / 278

Step 6:
If we divide 2552 by 278, we get 9 and a remainder of 50.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2549.0
If we take 2502 away from 2552, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 500 by 278, we get 1 with a remainder of 222.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2549.1
Subtracting 278 from 500 leaves us with 222.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 2220 by 278, we get 7 with a remainder of 274.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2549.17
The remainder is 274 after subtracting 1946 from 2220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2740, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
278 goes into 2740 9 times with a remainder of 238.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2549.179
Subtract 2502 from 2740 to get 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 278 fits into 2380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 156.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2549.1798
Subtracting 2224 from 2380 leaves us with 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
278 can be fit into 1560 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 170.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2549.17985
If we take 1390 away from 1560, we end up with 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
278 goes into 1700 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2549.179856
If we take 1668 away from 1700, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 13:
320 divided by 278 is 1 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2549.1798561
Subtract 278 from 320 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
278 goes into 420 1 times with a remainder of 142.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2549.17985611
If we take 278 away from 420, we end up with 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2549.17985611 with a balance of 1.42e-07.
