279863 divided by 79 
We're looking to find how many times 79 goes into 279863.

Step 1:
79 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 279 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
79 can be fit into 279 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 237 from 279, we get 42.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 428 / 79

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 428 by 79, we get 5 and a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 395 from 428 to get 33.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 336 / 79

On to step 5:
79 can be fit into 336 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 354.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 316 from 336.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 203 / 79

On to step 6:
79 can be fit into 203 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3542.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 158 from 203.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
79 goes into 450 5 times with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3542.5
Deduct 395 from 450 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 550 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 76.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3542.56
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 474 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 9:
760 divided by 79 is 9 with a remainder of 49.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3542.569
If we take 711 away from 760, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
490 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3542.5696
Deduct 474 from 490 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 79 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3542.56962
If we subtract 158 from 160, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
79 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3542.56962
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
79 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3542.5696202
Deduct 158 from 200 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 79 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3542.56962025
Subtracting 395 from 420 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3542.56962025, with a leftover of 2.5e-08.
