279264 divided by 12 
We want to divide 279264 by 12.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 12, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 12

Step 2:
27 divided by 12 is 2 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 24 from 27 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 12

Let's proceed to step 3:
12 goes into 39 3 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we take 36 away from 39, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 12

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 32 by 12, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 232.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 24 from 32.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 12

Advancing to step 5:
The number 12 fits into 86 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2327.0
Deduct 84 from 86 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 12

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 24 by 12, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23272.0
If we subtract 24 from 24, 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 7:
When dividing 0 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23272.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
12 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23272.0
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.

Our division results in 23272.0 with a remaining 0.0.
