We divide 278222 by 9
Our goal is to divide 278222 by 9.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 9, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 9

Moving on to step 2:
The number 9 fits into 27 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 27 from 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 9

On to step 3:
9 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 82 / 9

Let's proceed to step 4:
9 can be fit into 82 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 309.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 81 from 82.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 9

Moving on to step 5:
The number 9 fits into 12 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3091.0
Deduct 9 from 12 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 32 / 9

Moving on to step 6:
9 goes into 32 3 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 30913.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 27 from 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 9, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30913.5
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 45 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 50 by 9, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30913.55
If we take 45 away from 50, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Our division results in 30913.55 with a remaining 0.005.
