279668 ÷ 71 
Our goal is to divide 279668 by 71.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 71 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 71, we get 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.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 279 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
71 can be fit into 279 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 213 from 279 to get 66.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 666 / 71

On to step 4:
666 divided by 71 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 639 from 666.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 276 / 71

Advancing to step 5:
The number 71 fits into 276 3 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 393.0
If we take 213 away from 276, we end up with 63.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 638 / 71

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 638 8 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3938.0
Subtract 568 from 638 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 700 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 61.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3938.9
If we subtract 639 from 700, we get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 610 by 71, we get 8 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3938.98
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 568 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
71 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3938.985
Subtracting 355 from 420 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
71 can be fit into 650 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3938.9859
Subtract 639 from 650 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 110 by 71, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3938.98591
Deduct 71 from 110 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 390 by 71, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3938.985915
Deduct 355 from 390 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
71 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3938.9859154
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 284 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 660 by 71, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3938.98591549
Subtracting 639 from 660 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3938.98591549 and a remainder of 2.1e-08.
