We're dividing 278735 by 34 
We want to divide 278735 by 34.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 34 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 34

On to step 2:
The number 34 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 34

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 278 by 34, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 272 from 278 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 67 / 34

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 67 by 34, we get 1 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 81.0
Subtract 34 from 67 to get 33.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 333 / 34

Step 5:
If we divide 333 by 34, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 819.0
Deduct 306 from 333 and we're left with 27.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 275 / 34

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 275 by 34, we get 8 and a remainder of 3.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8198.0
Subtracting 272 from 275 leaves us with 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:
The number 34 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8198.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 300 by 34, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8198.08
If we take 272 away from 300, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
34 can be fit into 280 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8198.088
If we take 272 away from 280, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8198.088 with a remaining 0.0008.
