Let's divide 279831 by 96
We want to divide 279831 by 96.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 96, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 96

Moving on to step 2:
The number 96 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 279 / 96

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 279 by 96, we get 2 with a remainder of 87.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 192 from 279 leaves us with 87.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 87 and continue: 878 / 96

Advancing to step 4:
96 can be fit into 878 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 864 away from 878, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 143 / 96

Going ahead to step 5:
96 goes into 143 1 times with a remainder of 47.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 291.0
Subtracting 96 from 143 leaves us with 47.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 471 / 96

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 96 fits into 471 4 times, leaving a remainder of 87.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2914.0
Subtract 384 from 471 to get 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 870 by 96, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2914.9
Subtract 864 from 870 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 96, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2914.9
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
600 divided by 96 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2914.906
If we subtract 576 from 600, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 96, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2914.9062
Subtract 192 from 240 to 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 480 by 96, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2914.90625
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 480 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 0 by 96, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2914.90625
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 0 by 96, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2914.90625
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2914.90625 with a balance of 0.0.
