279690 ÷ 70 
We want to figure out the number of times 279690 can be divided by 70.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 70, we get 0 and 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.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 70

On to step 2:
70 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 279 / 70

Let's proceed to step 3:
279 divided by 70 is 3 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 210 from 279 leaves us with 69.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 696 / 70

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 696 by 70, we get 9 and a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 630 from 696.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 669 / 70

Going ahead to step 5:
70 goes into 669 9 times with a remainder of 39.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 399.0
Subtracting 630 from 669 leaves us with 39.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 390 / 70

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 390 by 70, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3995.0
Deduct 350 from 390 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
400 divided by 70 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3995.5
Deduct 350 from 400 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 8:
500 divided by 70 is 7 with a remainder of 10.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3995.57
If we subtract 490 from 500, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
70 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3995.571
Subtracting 70 from 100 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
70 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3995.5714
If we subtract 280 from 300, 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 70, we get 2 and a remainder of 60.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3995.57142
Subtracting 140 from 200 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 12:
600 divided by 70 is 8 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3995.571428
If we take 560 away from 600, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
70 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3995.5714285
Subtract 350 from 400 to 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.

Step 14:
70 can be fit into 500 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3995.57142857
If we take 490 away from 500, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3995.57142857, and the remainder is 1e-08.
