We divide 78583278 by 279
We want to figure out the number of times 78583278 can be divided by 279.

Moving on to step 1:
279 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 279

On to step 2:
279 can be fit into 78 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 78, we end up with 78.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 78, then repeat: 785 / 279

Step 3:
279 can be fit into 785 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 227.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 227 after subtracting 558 from 785.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 227 and continue: 2278 / 279

Step 4:
2278 divided by 279 is 8 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 2232 from 2278.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 463 / 279

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 463 by 279, we get 1 and a remainder of 184.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 281.0
Deduct 279 from 463 and we're left with 184.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 184, then repeat: 1842 / 279

On to step 6:
279 can be fit into 1842 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 168.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2816.0
The remainder is 168 after subtracting 1674 from 1842.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 168 and continue: 1687 / 279

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 1687 by 279, we get 6 with a remainder of 13.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28166.0
Subtracting 1674 from 1687 leaves us with 13.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 138 / 279

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 138 by 279, we get 0 and a remainder of 138.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 281660.0
Deduct 0 from 138 and we're left with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
279 goes into 1380 4 times with a remainder of 264.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 281660.4
If we subtract 1116 from 1380, we get 264.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2640, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
279 goes into 2640 9 times with a remainder of 129.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 281660.49
If we take 2511 away from 2640, we end up with 129.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 279 fits into 1290 4 times, leaving a remainder of 174.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 281660.494
If we subtract 1116 from 1290, we get 174.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 1740 by 279, we get 6 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 281660.4946
Subtracting 1674 from 1740 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 13:
279 can be fit into 660 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 102.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 281660.49462
If we take 558 away from 660, we end up with 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 1020 by 279, we get 3 with a remainder of 183.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 281660.494623
Subtracting 837 from 1020 leaves us with 183.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1830, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 1830 by 279, we get 6 and a remainder of 156.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 281660.4946236
If we take 1674 away from 1830, we end up with 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
1560 divided by 279 is 5 with a remainder of 165.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 281660.49462365
Deduct 1395 from 1560 and we're left with 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 281660.49462365 with a balance of 1.65e-07.
