279746 divided by 1 
Our goal is to divide 279746 by 1.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 1 fits into 2 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 2 from 2, we get 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 1

On to step 2:
When dividing 7 by 1, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 7 from 7, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 1

Step 3:
The number 1 fits into 9 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 279.0
Subtract 9 from 9 to get 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 1

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 7 by 1, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2797.0
Subtracting 7 from 7 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 1

On to step 5:
1 can be fit into 4 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27974.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 4 from 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 6 / 1

Moving on to step 6:
1 goes into 6 6 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 279746.0
If we take 6 away from 6, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 1 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 279746.0
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.

Step 8:
1 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 279746.0
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 279746.0 with a balance of 0.0.
