96816489 ÷ 281 
Our goal is to divide 96816489 by 281.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 281, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 281

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 96 by 281, we get 0 with a remainder of 96.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 96, we get 96.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 96 and continue: 968 / 281

Moving on to step 3:
The number 281 fits into 968 3 times, leaving a remainder of 125.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 843 from 968 and we're left with 125.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 125 and continue with: 1251 / 281

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 281 fits into 1251 4 times, leaving a remainder of 127.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we subtract 1124 from 1251, we get 127.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 127 and continue with: 1276 / 281

Moving on to step 5:
281 goes into 1276 4 times with a remainder of 152.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 344.0
The remainder is 152 after subtracting 1124 from 1276.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 152 and repeat the process: 1524 / 281

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 1524 by 281, we get 5 with a remainder of 119.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3445.0
Deduct 1405 from 1524 and we're left with 119.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 119 and continue: 1198 / 281

Step 7:
1198 divided by 281 is 4 with a remainder of 74.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34454.0
If we subtract 1124 from 1198, we get 74.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 749 / 281

Moving on to step 8:
749 divided by 281 is 2 with a remainder of 187.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 344542.0
Deduct 562 from 749 and we're left with 187.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1870, and continue the process.

Step 9:
281 goes into 1870 6 times with a remainder of 184.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 344542.6
If we take 1686 away from 1870, we end up with 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
281 goes into 1840 6 times with a remainder of 154.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 344542.66
If we subtract 1686 from 1840, we get 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 344542.66, with a leftover of 0.154.
