279708 divided by 76 
We want to figure out the number of times 279708 can be divided by 76.

Step 1:
76 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 76

On to step 2:
27 divided by 76 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 279 / 76

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 279 by 76, we get 3 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 228 away from 279, we end up with 51.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 517 / 76

On to step 4:
If we divide 517 by 76, we get 6 and a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtract 456 from 517 to get 61.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 610 / 76

Going ahead to step 5:
76 goes into 610 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 368.0
If we take 608 away from 610, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 76

On to step 6:
76 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3680.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 280 by 76, we get 3 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3680.3
If we take 228 away from 280, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 520 by 76, we get 6 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3680.36
Subtract 456 from 520 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 9:
76 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3680.368
Deduct 608 from 640 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 320 by 76, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3680.3684
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 304 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 76 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3680.36842
Subtracting 152 from 160 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
76 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3680.368421
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 76 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 40 by 76, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3680.368421
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 76, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3680.36842105
Subtracting 380 from 400 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3680.36842105 with a remaining 2e-08.
