We're dividing 280979 by 97 
We're looking to find how many times 97 goes into 280979.

Step 1:
97 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 97

Moving on to step 2:
The number 97 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 280 / 97

Step 3:
280 divided by 97 is 2 with a remainder of 86.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 194 from 280.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 86 and repeat the process: 869 / 97

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 869 by 97, we get 8 with a remainder of 93.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 776 from 869 leaves us with 93.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 93, then repeat: 937 / 97

Step 5:
When dividing 937 by 97, we get 9 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 289.0
Deduct 873 from 937 and we're left with 64.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 649 / 97

Let's proceed to step 6:
97 can be fit into 649 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2896.0
Subtract 582 from 649 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
97 can be fit into 670 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 88.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2896.6
If we subtract 582 from 670, we get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
880 divided by 97 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2896.69
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 873 from 880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
97 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2896.69
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 10:
700 divided by 97 is 7 with a remainder of 21.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2896.6907
If we subtract 679 from 700, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 210 by 97, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2896.69072
Subtract 194 from 210 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
160 divided by 97 is 1 with a remainder of 63.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2896.690721
Subtract 97 from 160 to get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 630 by 97, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2896.6907216
If we subtract 582 from 630, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
480 divided by 97 is 4 with a remainder of 92.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2896.69072164
Deduct 388 from 480 and we're left with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2896.69072164 and a remainder of 9.2e-08.
