278821 ÷ 63 
We're looking to find how many times 63 goes into 278821.

Step 1:
The number 63 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 63

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 63, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 63

Moving on to step 3:
63 goes into 278 4 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 252 from 278 to get 26.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 268 / 63

Step 4:
When dividing 268 by 63, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44.0
If we take 252 away from 268, we end up with 16.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 162 / 63

Advancing to step 5:
63 goes into 162 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 442.0
Deduct 126 from 162 and we're left with 36.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 361 / 63

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 361 by 63, we get 5 and a remainder of 46.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4425.0
Deduct 315 from 361 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
460 divided by 63 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4425.7
If we take 441 away from 460, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 190 by 63, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4425.73
Subtracting 189 from 190 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
63 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4425.73
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
63 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4425.7301
If we take 63 away from 100, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 63 fits into 370 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4425.73015
If we take 315 away from 370, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 550 by 63, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4425.730158
If we subtract 504 from 550, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 460 by 63, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4425.7301587
Subtract 441 from 460 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
190 divided by 63 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4425.73015873
If we subtract 189 from 190, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4425.73015873, with a leftover of 1e-09.
