We divide 279666 by 76
Our goal is to divide 279666 by 76.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 76 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 76

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 76, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 279 / 76

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 279 by 76, we get 3 and a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 228 from 279 and we're left with 51.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 516 / 76

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 516 by 76, we get 6 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtract 456 from 516 to get 60.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 60 and repeat the process: 606 / 76

On to step 5:
If we divide 606 by 76, we get 7 and a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 367.0
If we take 532 away from 606, we end up with 74.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 746 / 76

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 746 by 76, we get 9 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3679.0
If we take 684 away from 746, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 620 by 76, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3679.8
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 608 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
120 divided by 76 is 1 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3679.81
Subtracting 76 from 120 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 76 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3679.815
Deduct 380 from 440 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
76 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3679.8157
Deduct 532 from 600 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 680 by 76, we get 8 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3679.81578
Subtracting 608 from 680 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
720 divided by 76 is 9 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3679.815789
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 684 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 76 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3679.8157894
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 304 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 560 by 76, we get 7 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3679.81578947
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 532 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 3679.81578947 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
