278678 divided by 45 
We want to figure out the number of times 278678 can be divided by 45.

Advancing to step 1:
45 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 45

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 45, we get 0 with 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.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 278 / 45

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 278 by 45, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 270 from 278, we get 8.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 86 / 45

Step 4:
When dividing 86 by 45, we get 1 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we subtract 45 from 86, we get 41.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 417 / 45

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 417 by 45, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 619.0
Deduct 405 from 417 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 128 / 45

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 128 by 45, we get 2 and a remainder of 38.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6192.0
Subtract 90 from 128 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 45, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6192.8
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 360 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
45 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6192.84
If we subtract 180 from 200, 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 45, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6192.844
Subtracting 180 from 200 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6192.844 and a remainder of 0.002.
