We're dividing 278557 by 89 
We want to figure out the number of times 278557 can be divided by 89.

Advancing to step 1:
89 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
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 89

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 89, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 278 / 89

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 278 by 89, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 267 from 278 to get 11.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 115 / 89

Going ahead to step 4:
89 goes into 115 1 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 89 away from 115, we end up with 26.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 265 / 89

Step 5:
The number 89 fits into 265 2 times, leaving a remainder of 87.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 312.0
Subtracting 178 from 265 leaves us with 87.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 87 and repeat the process: 877 / 89

Going ahead to step 6:
877 divided by 89 is 9 with a remainder of 76.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3129.0
If we subtract 801 from 877, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 89 fits into 760 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3129.8
Subtract 712 from 760 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 480 by 89, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3129.85
Deduct 445 from 480 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 89 fits into 350 3 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3129.853
If we subtract 267 from 350, we get 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 830 by 89, we get 9 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3129.8539
Deduct 801 from 830 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 290 by 89, we get 3 with a remainder of 23.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3129.85393
Subtracting 267 from 290 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 230 by 89, we get 2 with a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3129.853932
Deduct 178 from 230 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 13:
89 goes into 520 5 times with a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3129.8539325
Subtracting 445 from 520 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 750 by 89, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3129.85393258
Subtracting 712 from 750 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3129.85393258 with a remaining 3.8e-08.
