Let's divide 279880 by 4
We want to figure out the number of times 279880 can be divided by 4.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 4

Going ahead to step 2:
4 can be fit into 27 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 24 from 27 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 4

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 4 fits into 39 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 69.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 36 from 39.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 4

Going ahead to step 4:
38 divided by 4 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 699.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 36 from 38.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 4

On to step 5:
When dividing 28 by 4, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6997.0
Subtract 28 from 28 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 0 / 4

Going ahead to step 6:
4 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69970.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 69970.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69970.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 69970.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
