We're dividing 74213679 by 279 
We want to divide 74213679 by 279.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 279 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 279

Moving on to step 2:
74 divided by 279 is 0 with a remainder of 74.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 74 and we're left with 74.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 74, then carry on: 742 / 279

On to step 3:
When dividing 742 by 279, we get 2 with a remainder of 184.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 558 from 742 and we're left with 184.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 184 and continue: 1841 / 279

Advancing to step 4:
The number 279 fits into 1841 6 times, leaving a remainder of 167.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 1674 from 1841, we get 167.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 167 and repeat the process: 1673 / 279

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 1673 by 279, we get 5 with a remainder of 278.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 265.0
Deduct 1395 from 1673 and we're left with 278.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 278 and repeat the process: 2786 / 279

On to step 6:
When dividing 2786 by 279, we get 9 with a remainder of 275.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2659.0
The remainder is 275 after subtracting 2511 from 2786.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 275, then repeat: 2757 / 279

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 2757 by 279, we get 9 with a remainder of 246.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26599.0
Subtracting 2511 from 2757 leaves us with 246.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 246, then repeat: 2469 / 279

Moving on to step 8:
279 can be fit into 2469 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 237.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 265998.0
Subtracting 2232 from 2469 leaves us with 237.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2370, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
279 goes into 2370 8 times with a remainder of 138.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 265998.8
Deduct 2232 from 2370 and we're left with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
279 goes into 1380 4 times with a remainder of 264.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 265998.84
Subtract 1116 from 1380 to get 264.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
279 goes into 2640 9 times with a remainder of 129.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 265998.849
Subtract 2511 from 2640 to get 129.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 1290 by 279, we get 4 with a remainder of 174.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 265998.8494
Subtract 1116 from 1290 to get 174.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1740, and continue the process.

Step 13:
1740 divided by 279 is 6 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 265998.84946
If we subtract 1674 from 1740, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
660 divided by 279 is 2 with a remainder of 102.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 265998.849462
Subtracting 558 from 660 leaves us with 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
279 can be fit into 1020 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 183.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 265998.8494623
The remainder is 183 after subtracting 837 from 1020.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1830, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
When dividing 1830 by 279, we get 6 with a remainder of 156.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 265998.84946236
If we subtract 1674 from 1830, we get 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 265998.84946236 and a remainder of 1.56e-07.
