1279872 divided by 503 
We want to divide 1279872 by 503.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 503 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 503

Step 2:
503 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 127 / 503

Let's proceed to step 3:
503 can be fit into 127 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 127.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 127 and we're left with 127.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 127 and continue with: 1279 / 503

Advancing to step 4:
503 can be fit into 1279 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 273.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 273 after subtracting 1006 from 1279.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 273, then repeat: 2738 / 503

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 2738 by 503, we get 5 with a remainder of 223.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 2515 from 2738 to get 223.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 223, then repeat: 2237 / 503

Step 6:
When dividing 2237 by 503, we get 4 with a remainder of 225.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 254.0
Deduct 2012 from 2237 and we're left with 225.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 225 and continue with: 2252 / 503

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 2252 by 503, we get 4 and a remainder of 240.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2544.0
Subtract 2012 from 2252 to get 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 503 fits into 2400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 388.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2544.4
The remainder is 388 after subtracting 2012 from 2400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3880, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 3880 by 503, we get 7 and a remainder of 359.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2544.47
If we subtract 3521 from 3880, we get 359.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3590, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
503 can be fit into 3590 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2544.477
Deduct 3521 from 3590 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2544.477, and the remainder is 0.0069.
