279777 ÷ 12 
We want to divide 279777 by 12.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 12

Step 2:
When dividing 27 by 12, we get 2 with a remainder of 3.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 24 from 27, we get 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 12

Let's proceed to step 3:
12 can be fit into 39 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 36 from 39 to get 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 12

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 37 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 233.0
If we subtract 36 from 37, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 12

Let's proceed to step 5:
12 goes into 17 1 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2331.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 12 from 17.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 12

Let's proceed to step 6:
57 divided by 12 is 4 with a remainder of 9.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23314.0
If we take 48 away from 57, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
12 can be fit into 90 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 23314.7
Deduct 84 from 90 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 12 fits into 60 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23314.75
If we subtract 60 from 60, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23314.75
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23314.75
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

The final result is 23314.75 with a remainder of 0.0.
