We divide 279731 by 69
We want to divide 279731 by 69.

Moving on to step 1:
69 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
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 / 69

Step 2:
If we divide 27 by 69, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 279 / 69

On to step 3:
When dividing 279 by 69, we get 4 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 276 from 279 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 69

On to step 4:
If we divide 37 by 69, we get 0 and a remainder of 37.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40.0
Deduct 0 from 37 and we're left with 37.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 373 / 69

On to step 5:
373 divided by 69 is 5 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 405.0
Subtract 345 from 373 to get 28.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 281 / 69

On to step 6:
69 goes into 281 4 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4054.0
Subtract 276 from 281 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
50 divided by 69 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4054.0
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
69 can be fit into 500 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4054.07
Deduct 483 from 500 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 69 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4054.072
Subtract 138 from 170 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 69, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4054.0724
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 276 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
440 divided by 69 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4054.07246
Subtracting 414 from 440 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 260 by 69, we get 3 with a remainder of 53.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4054.072463
If we subtract 207 from 260, we get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 69 fits into 530 7 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4054.0724637
Deduct 483 from 530 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
69 can be fit into 470 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4054.07246376
Subtracting 414 from 470 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4054.07246376 with a balance of 5.6e-08.
