We're dividing 279463 by 86 
We want to divide 279463 by 86.

Going ahead to step 1:
86 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 86

Let's proceed to step 2:
86 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 279 / 86

Step 3:
The number 86 fits into 279 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 258 from 279 leaves us with 21.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 214 / 86

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 214 by 86, we get 2 with a remainder of 42.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 172 away from 214, we end up with 42.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 426 / 86

Let's proceed to step 5:
86 can be fit into 426 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 82.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 324.0
Subtracting 344 from 426 leaves us with 82.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 82, then repeat: 823 / 86

On to step 6:
86 goes into 823 9 times with a remainder of 49.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3249.0
Subtract 774 from 823 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 490 by 86, we get 5 with a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3249.5
If we subtract 430 from 490, we 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.

Advancing to step 8:
86 goes into 600 6 times with a remainder of 84.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3249.56
Subtract 516 from 600 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Step 9:
86 can be fit into 840 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3249.569
Deduct 774 from 840 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 660 by 86, we get 7 with a remainder of 58.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3249.5697
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 602 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 86 fits into 580 6 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3249.56976
Deduct 516 from 580 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 640 by 86, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3249.569767
Deduct 602 from 640 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
86 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3249.5697674
Deduct 344 from 380 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 360 by 86, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3249.56976744
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 344 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 3249.56976744 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
