We're dividing 280717 by 70 
We're looking to find how many times 70 goes into 280717.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 70, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 70

Advancing to step 2:
70 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 280 / 70

Advancing to step 3:
70 goes into 280 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 280 from 280.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 70

On to step 4:
When dividing 7 by 70, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 70

Moving on to step 5:
The number 70 fits into 71 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 401.0
Subtracting 70 from 71 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 70

Advancing to step 6:
70 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4010.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 170 by 70, we get 2 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4010.2
If we subtract 140 from 170, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 70 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4010.24
Subtract 280 from 300 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
70 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4010.242
Subtract 140 from 200 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 70 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4010.2428
If we subtract 560 from 600, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 400 by 70, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4010.24285
If we subtract 350 from 400, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 70 fits into 500 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4010.242857
If we subtract 490 from 500, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 70, we get 1 with a remainder of 30.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4010.2428571
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 70 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 14:
70 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4010.24285714
Subtract 280 from 300 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4010.24285714 and a remainder of 2e-08.
