Let's divide 218979 by 75
We want to figure out the number of times 218979 can be divided by 75.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 75, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 75

Moving on to step 2:
The number 75 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 218 / 75

Advancing to step 3:
The number 75 fits into 218 2 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 150 from 218 to get 68.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 689 / 75

On to step 4:
If we divide 689 by 75, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 675 from 689 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 147 / 75

On to step 5:
75 can be fit into 147 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 291.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 75 from 147.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 729 / 75

Moving on to step 6:
729 divided by 75 is 9 with a remainder of 54.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2919.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 675 from 729.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
75 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2919.7
Subtract 525 from 540 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
75 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2919.72
Subtract 150 from 150 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
75 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: 2919.72
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 0 by 75, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2919.72
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

The final result is 2919.72 with a remainder of 0.0.
