Let's divide 12385947 by 279
We're looking to find how many times 279 goes into 12385947.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 279, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 279

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 12 by 279, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 123 / 279

Moving on to step 3:
123 divided by 279 is 0 with a remainder of 123.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 123 and we're left with 123.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 123 and repeat the process: 1238 / 279

Going ahead to step 4:
1238 divided by 279 is 4 with a remainder of 122.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 1116 from 1238, we get 122.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 122 and continue: 1225 / 279

Let's proceed to step 5:
1225 divided by 279 is 4 with a remainder of 109.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Deduct 1116 from 1225 and we're left with 109.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 109, then carry on: 1099 / 279

Moving on to step 6:
1099 divided by 279 is 3 with a remainder of 262.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 443.0
Subtract 837 from 1099 to get 262.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 262, then repeat: 2624 / 279

Going ahead to step 7:
279 goes into 2624 9 times with a remainder of 113.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4439.0
Deduct 2511 from 2624 and we're left with 113.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 113, then carry on: 1137 / 279

Going ahead to step 8:
279 can be fit into 1137 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 44394.0
Subtracting 1116 from 1137 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 279 fits into 210 0 times, leaving a remainder of 210.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44394.0
The remainder is 210 after subtracting 0 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 2100 by 279, we get 7 and a remainder of 147.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44394.07
The remainder is 147 after subtracting 1953 from 2100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 1470 by 279, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44394.075
If we subtract 1395 from 1470, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
279 goes into 750 2 times with a remainder of 192.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 44394.0752
Subtracting 558 from 750 leaves us with 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 279 fits into 1920 6 times, leaving a remainder of 246.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44394.07526
If we subtract 1674 from 1920, we get 246.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2460, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 2460 by 279, we get 8 and a remainder of 228.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44394.075268
Deduct 2232 from 2460 and we're left with 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
279 can be fit into 2280 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44394.0752688
Subtracting 2232 from 2280 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final result is 44394.0752688 with a remainder of 4.8e-07.
