We're dividing 280379 by 97 
We want to divide 280379 by 97.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 97

On to step 2:
28 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 280 / 97

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 280 by 97, we get 2 and a remainder of 86.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 194 from 280 and we're left with 86.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 86, then carry on: 863 / 97

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 97 fits into 863 8 times, leaving a remainder of 87.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 776 from 863 to get 87.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 87 and continue: 877 / 97

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 877 by 97, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 289.0
If we subtract 873 from 877, we get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 97

Step 6:
If we divide 49 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2890.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
The number 97 fits into 490 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2890.5
If we take 485 away from 490, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 97 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2890.5
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 500 by 97, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2890.505
Subtracting 485 from 500 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 150 by 97, we get 1 and a remainder of 53.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2890.5051
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 97 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
97 goes into 530 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2890.50515
If we take 485 away from 530, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
97 goes into 450 4 times with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2890.505154
If we subtract 388 from 450, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 97 fits into 620 6 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2890.5051546
Deduct 582 from 620 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 14:
380 divided by 97 is 3 with a remainder of 89.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2890.50515463
Deduct 291 from 380 and we're left with 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2890.50515463 with a balance of 8.9e-08.
