Let's divide 279259 by 9
Our goal is to divide 279259 by 9.

On to step 1:
9 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 9

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 9, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 27 away from 27, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 9

Moving on to step 3:
9 goes into 9 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 9 from 9 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 9

On to step 4:
9 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 310.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 9

Advancing to step 5:
9 goes into 25 2 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3102.0
Subtracting 18 from 25 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 79 / 9

Advancing to step 6:
9 can be fit into 79 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31028.0
If we subtract 72 from 79, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 70 by 9, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 31028.7
If we take 63 away from 70, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 9 fits into 70 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31028.77
If we subtract 63 from 70, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 31028.77, with a leftover of 0.007.
