Let's divide 279973 by 64
We want to divide 279973 by 64.

On to step 1:
64 goes into 2 0 times 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.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 64

Let's proceed to step 2:
27 divided by 64 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 279 / 64

Going ahead to step 3:
64 goes into 279 4 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 256 from 279 leaves us with 23.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 239 / 64

Step 4:
The number 64 fits into 239 3 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we take 192 away from 239, we end up with 47.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 477 / 64

Step 5:
If we divide 477 by 64, we get 7 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 437.0
Subtract 448 from 477 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 293 / 64

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 293 by 64, we get 4 with a remainder of 37.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4374.0
Subtract 256 from 293 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
370 divided by 64 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4374.5
If we take 320 away from 370, we end up 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:
64 can be fit into 500 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4374.57
Subtracting 448 from 500 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 64 fits into 520 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4374.578
If we subtract 512 from 520, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
64 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4374.5781
If we take 64 away from 80, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 64 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4374.57812
If we subtract 128 from 160, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
320 divided by 64 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4374.578125
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 320 from 320.
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 13:
64 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4374.578125
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 0 by 64, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4374.578125
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4374.578125 with a balance of 0.0.
