We're dividing 279942 by 99 
We want to divide 279942 by 99.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 99 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our 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 / 99

Going ahead to step 2:
99 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in 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 / 99

Moving on to step 3:
99 goes into 279 2 times with a remainder of 81.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 198 from 279 and we're left with 81.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 81 and continue with: 819 / 99

Moving on to step 4:
819 divided by 99 is 8 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 792 from 819 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 274 / 99

On to step 5:
99 goes into 274 2 times with a remainder of 76.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 282.0
Subtract 198 from 274 to get 76.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 76 and continue with: 762 / 99

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 762 by 99, we get 7 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2827.0
Subtract 693 from 762 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 690 by 99, we get 6 with a remainder of 96.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2827.6
If we take 594 away from 690, we end up with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
960 divided by 99 is 9 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2827.69
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 891 from 960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
99 goes into 690 6 times with a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2827.696
Subtract 594 from 690 to get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
99 can be fit into 960 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2827.6969
Subtract 891 from 960 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
99 goes into 690 6 times with a remainder of 96.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2827.69696
If we subtract 594 from 690, we get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
960 divided by 99 is 9 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2827.696969
If we subtract 891 from 960, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
690 divided by 99 is 6 with a remainder of 96.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2827.6969696
If we subtract 594 from 690, we get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 960 by 99, we get 9 with a remainder of 69.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2827.69696969
Subtracting 891 from 960 leaves us with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2827.69696969 with a balance of 6.9e-08.
