Let's divide 281048 by 99
We want to figure out the number of times 281048 can be divided by 99.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 99, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 99

On to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 99, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 281 / 99

Moving on to step 3:
281 divided by 99 is 2 with a remainder of 83.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 198 away from 281, we end up with 83.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 83 and repeat the process: 830 / 99

Advancing to step 4:
830 divided by 99 is 8 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 792 from 830 to get 38.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 384 / 99

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 384 by 99, we get 3 with a remainder of 87.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 283.0
Subtracting 297 from 384 leaves us with 87.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 87, then repeat: 878 / 99

Step 6:
878 divided by 99 is 8 with a remainder of 86.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2838.0
Subtracting 792 from 878 leaves us with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
99 can be fit into 860 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2838.8
If we subtract 792 from 860, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
99 goes into 680 6 times with a remainder of 86.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2838.86
If we take 594 away from 680, we end up with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
99 goes into 860 8 times with a remainder of 68.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2838.868
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 792 from 860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 99 fits into 680 6 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2838.8686
Deduct 594 from 680 and we're left with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 860 by 99, we get 8 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2838.86868
If we subtract 792 from 860, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 680 by 99, we get 6 and a remainder of 86.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2838.868686
If we subtract 594 from 680, we get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 99 fits into 860 8 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2838.8686868
If we subtract 792 from 860, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 99 fits into 680 6 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2838.86868686
Deduct 594 from 680 and we're left with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2838.86868686, with a leftover of 8.6e-08.
