278104 ÷ 45 
We're looking to find how many times 45 goes into 278104.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 45, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 45

Going ahead to step 2:
45 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 278 / 45

Step 3:
45 can be fit into 278 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 270 from 278 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 81 / 45

Advancing to step 4:
45 can be fit into 81 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtract 45 from 81 to get 36.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 360 / 45

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 45 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 618.0
If we take 360 away from 360, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 45

Let's proceed to step 6:
4 divided by 45 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6180.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
45 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6180.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 45, we get 8 and a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6180.08
Deduct 360 from 400 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
45 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6180.088
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6180.088 with a remaining 0.004.
