We're dividing 278904 by 69 
We're looking to find how many times 69 goes into 278904.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 69, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 69

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 69, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 278 / 69

On to step 3:
69 can be fit into 278 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 276 from 278 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 69

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 29 by 69, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 40.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 290 / 69

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 69 fits into 290 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 404.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 276 from 290.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 144 / 69

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 144 by 69, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4042.0
Deduct 138 from 144 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 69 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4042.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
600 divided by 69 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4042.08
Deduct 552 from 600 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 480 by 69, we get 6 and a remainder of 66.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4042.086
Deduct 414 from 480 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.

Advancing to step 10:
69 can be fit into 660 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4042.0869
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 621 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
390 divided by 69 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4042.08695
If we take 345 away from 390, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 69 fits into 450 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4042.086956
Subtract 414 from 450 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 360 by 69, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4042.0869565
Deduct 345 from 360 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
150 divided by 69 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4042.08695652
Subtract 138 from 150 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.

The final result is 4042.08695652 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
