278498 divided by 10 
We're looking to find how many times 10 goes into 278498.

Advancing 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
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 10

Going ahead to step 2:
10 can be fit into 27 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 20 from 27 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 10

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 78 by 10, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 70 away from 78, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 10

Step 4:
10 can be fit into 84 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 278.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 80 from 84.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 10

On to step 5:
If we divide 49 by 10, we get 4 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2784.0
Subtracting 40 from 49 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 10

On to step 6:
If we divide 98 by 10, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27849.0
Deduct 90 from 98 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
The number 10 fits into 80 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27849.8
If we take 80 away from 80, 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:
0 divided by 10 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27849.8
If we take 0 away from 0, 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 9:
10 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27849.8
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 27849.8 with a remaining 0.0.
