278537 ÷ 58 
We want to divide 278537 by 58.

Step 1:
The number 58 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 58

Advancing to step 2:
58 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 58

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 278 by 58, we get 4 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 232 from 278 and we're left with 46.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 465 / 58

Step 4:
The number 58 fits into 465 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 464 away from 465, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 58

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 58 fits into 13 0 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 480.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 0 from 13.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 137 / 58

Going ahead to step 6:
58 goes into 137 2 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4802.0
If we take 116 away from 137, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
210 divided by 58 is 3 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4802.3
If we subtract 174 from 210, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 8:
58 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4802.36
Subtract 348 from 360 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
58 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4802.362
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 116 from 120.
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 10:
58 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4802.362
Deduct 0 from 40 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.

Moving on to step 11:
400 divided by 58 is 6 with a remainder of 52.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4802.36206
Deduct 348 from 400 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.

Step 12:
58 can be fit into 520 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4802.362068
If we subtract 464 from 520, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
560 divided by 58 is 9 with a remainder of 38.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4802.3620689
Subtract 522 from 560 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 380 by 58, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4802.36206896
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 348 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4802.36206896, with a leftover of 3.2e-08.
