Let's divide 279517 by 97
Our goal is to divide 279517 by 97.

On to step 1:
97 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 97

Advancing to step 2:
27 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 279 / 97

Step 3:
When dividing 279 by 97, we get 2 with a remainder of 85.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 194 from 279, we get 85.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 85 and repeat the process: 855 / 97

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 855 by 97, we get 8 and a remainder of 79.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 776 from 855, we get 79.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 79, then repeat: 791 / 97

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 791 by 97, we get 8 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 288.0
Subtracting 776 from 791 leaves us with 15.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 157 / 97

Step 6:
The number 97 fits into 157 1 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2881.0
If we subtract 97 from 157, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 97 fits into 600 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2881.6
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 582 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
97 can be fit into 180 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 83.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2881.61
The remainder is 83 after subtracting 97 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
97 can be fit into 830 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2881.618
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 776 from 830.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 10:
97 can be fit into 540 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2881.6185
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 485 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 97 fits into 550 5 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2881.61855
Subtracting 485 from 550 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2881.61855, with a leftover of 6.5e-05.
