279599 divided by 57 
Our goal is to divide 279599 by 57.

Step 1:
The number 57 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 57

On to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 57, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 279 / 57

Step 3:
279 divided by 57 is 4 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 228 from 279, we get 51.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 515 / 57

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 57 fits into 515 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtract 513 from 515 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 57

On to step 5:
If we divide 29 by 57, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 490.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 299 / 57

Step 6:

The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4905.0
Subtract 285 from 299 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 140 by 57, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4905.2
Deduct 114 from 140 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 57, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4905.24
Deduct 228 from 260 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 57, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4905.245
Deduct 285 from 320 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 57 fits into 350 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4905.2456
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 342 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
57 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4905.24561
If we subtract 57 from 80, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 230 by 57, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4905.245614
Deduct 228 from 230 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
57 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4905.245614
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
57 can be fit into 200 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4905.24561403
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 171 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4905.24561403 with a remaining 2.9e-08.
