278951 ÷ 5 
We're looking to find how many times 5 goes into 278951.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 5

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 5 fits into 27 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 25 from 27, we get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 5

Going ahead to step 3:
5 can be fit into 28 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 25 from 28, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 5

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 39 by 5, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 557.0
If we subtract 35 from 39, we get 4.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 45 / 5

Moving on to step 5:
5 can be fit into 45 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5579.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 45 from 45.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 5

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 5 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55790.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 5, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55790.2
Deduct 10 from 10 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 0 by 5, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55790.2
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55790.2
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 55790.2 and a remainder of 0.0.
