Let's divide 278077 by 41
Let's see how many times 41 fits into 278077.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 41 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 41

Step 2:
41 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 41

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 278 by 41, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 246 from 278 to get 32.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 320 / 41

Going ahead to step 4:
320 divided by 41 is 7 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 67.0
Deduct 287 from 320 and we're left with 33.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 337 / 41

On to step 5:
337 divided by 41 is 8 with a remainder of 9.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 678.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 328 from 337.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 41

Step 6:
41 goes into 97 2 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6782.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 82 from 97.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 41 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6782.3
Deduct 123 from 150 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
270 divided by 41 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6782.36
Deduct 246 from 270 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
41 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6782.365
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 205 from 240.
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 10:
41 can be fit into 350 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6782.3658
Deduct 328 from 350 and we're left with 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 11:
When dividing 220 by 41, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6782.36585
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 205 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 150 by 41, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6782.365853
Subtracting 123 from 150 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
41 can be fit into 270 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6782.3658536
Subtracting 246 from 270 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 41 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6782.36585365
Deduct 205 from 240 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.

After the division, we end up with 6782.36585365 and a remainder of 3.5e-08.
