We're dividing 278204 by 5 
We're looking to find how many times 5 goes into 278204.

Moving on to step 1:
5 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 5

Let's proceed to step 2:
5 can be fit into 27 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 25 from 27 to get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 5

On to step 3:
5 can be fit into 28 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 25 away from 28, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 5

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 32 by 5, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 556.0
Deduct 30 from 32 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 5

Let's proceed to step 5:
5 goes into 20 4 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5564.0
If we subtract 20 from 20, we get 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 5

Let's proceed to step 6:
5 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55640.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 40 by 5, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55640.8
Deduct 40 from 40 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 5, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 55640.8
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55640.8
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 55640.8 with a remaining 0.0.
