278509 ÷ 29 
Let's see how many times 29 fits into 278509.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 29 is 0 with 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.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 29

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 29, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 29

Advancing to step 3:
29 can be fit into 278 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 261 from 278 to get 17.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 175 / 29

On to step 4:
175 divided by 29 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 96.0
Deduct 174 from 175 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 10 / 29

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 29 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 960.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 109 / 29

Advancing to step 6:
109 divided by 29 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9603.0
If we subtract 87 from 109, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
29 can be fit into 220 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9603.7
Subtract 203 from 220 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
170 divided by 29 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9603.75
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 145 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
29 goes into 250 8 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9603.758
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 232 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 180 by 29, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9603.7586
Subtracting 174 from 180 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 60 by 29, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9603.75862
Subtracting 58 from 60 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 20 by 29, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9603.75862
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 29 fits into 200 6 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9603.7586206
Subtract 174 from 200 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 260 by 29, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9603.75862068
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 232 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 9603.75862068, with a leftover of 2.8e-08.
