We divide 279999 by 1
Our goal is to divide 279999 by 1.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 1, we get 2 and 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.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 1

Step 2:
The number 1 fits into 7 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 7 from 7 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 1

Advancing to step 3:
9 divided by 1 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 279.0
Deduct 9 from 9 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 1

Moving on to step 4:
1 can be fit into 9 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2799.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 1

Moving on to step 5:
9 divided by 1 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 27999.0
Subtracting 9 from 9 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 1

Advancing to step 6:
9 divided by 1 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 279999.0
If we subtract 9 from 9, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
1 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 279999.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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:
When dividing 0 by 1, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 279999.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

The final result is 279999.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
