278973 divided by 10 
We're looking to find how many times 10 goes into 278973.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 10 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 10

Advancing to step 2:
10 can be fit into 27 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 20 from 27 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 10

Step 3:
10 can be fit into 78 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 70 from 78, we get 8.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 89 / 10

Moving on to step 4:
89 divided by 10 is 8 with a remainder of 9.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 278.0
Subtract 80 from 89 to get 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 10

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 10 fits into 97 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2789.0
Subtracting 90 from 97 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 10

Going ahead to step 6:
10 goes into 73 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27897.0
If we subtract 70 from 73, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
10 can be fit into 30 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27897.3
If we take 30 away from 30, we end up 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:
If we divide 0 by 10, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27897.3
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 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:
0 divided by 10 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27897.3
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 27897.3 with a remaining 0.0.
