We divide 42660124 by 278
Our goal is to divide 42660124 by 278.

On to step 1:
278 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 278

Let's proceed to step 2:
278 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 426 / 278

Advancing to step 3:
The number 278 fits into 426 1 times, leaving a remainder of 148.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 278 from 426, we get 148.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 148, then carry on: 1486 / 278

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 1486 by 278, we get 5 and a remainder of 96.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 1390 from 1486.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 96, then repeat: 960 / 278

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 960 by 278, we get 3 with a remainder of 126.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 153.0
Subtracting 834 from 960 leaves us with 126.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 126, then carry on: 1261 / 278

Let's proceed to step 6:
278 can be fit into 1261 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 149.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1534.0
If we subtract 1112 from 1261, we get 149.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 149, then repeat: 1492 / 278

Step 7:
1492 divided by 278 is 5 with a remainder of 102.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15345.0
If we take 1390 away from 1492, we end up with 102.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 102, then repeat: 1024 / 278

Advancing to step 8:
278 can be fit into 1024 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 190.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 153453.0
If we take 834 away from 1024, we end up with 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 1900 by 278, we get 6 and a remainder of 232.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 153453.6
If we take 1668 away from 1900, we end up with 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
278 can be fit into 2320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 153453.68
Deduct 2224 from 2320 and we're left with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 960 by 278, we get 3 and a remainder of 126.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 153453.683
Subtracting 834 from 960 leaves us with 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
278 goes into 1260 4 times with a remainder of 148.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 153453.6834
Subtract 1112 from 1260 to get 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 1480 by 278, we get 5 with a remainder of 90.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 153453.68345
Subtracting 1390 from 1480 leaves us with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
278 can be fit into 900 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 153453.683453
Deduct 834 from 900 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
278 can be fit into 660 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 104.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 153453.6834532
Deduct 556 from 660 and we're left with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Step 16:
When dividing 1040 by 278, we get 3 with a remainder of 206.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 153453.68345323
If we subtract 834 from 1040, we get 206.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2060, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 153453.68345323 and a remainder of 2.06e-07.
