Going ahead to step 4:
1562 divided by 279 is 5 with a remainder of 167.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 1395 from 1562 leaves us with 167.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 167, then carry on: 1674 / 279

Going ahead to step 5:
279 goes into 1674 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 256.0
If we subtract 1674 from 1674, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 279

Advancing to step 6:
279 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2560.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 279

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 41 by 279, we get 0 and a remainder of 41.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25600.0
Deduct 0 from 41 and we're left with 41.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 414 / 279

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 414 by 279, we get 1 with a remainder of 135.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 256001.0
If we subtract 279 from 414, we get 135.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1350, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
279 goes into 1350 4 times with a remainder of 234.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 256001.4
Subtracting 1116 from 1350 leaves us with 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
279 can be fit into 2340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 108.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 256001.48
Subtracting 2232 from 2340 leaves us with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 279 fits into 1080 3 times, leaving a remainder of 243.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 256001.483
The remainder is 243 after subtracting 837 from 1080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2430, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 2430 by 279, we get 8 and a remainder of 198.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 256001.4838
Subtracting 2232 from 2430 leaves us with 198.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1980, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
279 goes into 1980 7 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 256001.48387
Deduct 1953 from 1980 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 279 fits into 270 0 times, leaving a remainder of 270.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 256001.48387
If we subtract 0 from 270, we get 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2700, and continue the process.

Step 15:
2700 divided by 279 is 9 with a remainder of 189.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 256001.4838709
If we subtract 2511 from 2700, we get 189.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1890, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 279 fits into 1890 6 times, leaving a remainder of 216.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 256001.48387096
Deduct 1674 from 1890 and we're left with 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 256001.48387096, and the remainder is 2.16e-07.
