Let's divide 279204 by 89
Our goal is to divide 279204 by 89.

On to step 1:
The number 89 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 89

Going ahead to step 2:
89 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 279 / 89

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 89 fits into 279 3 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 267 from 279 leaves us with 12.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 122 / 89

Advancing to step 4:
The number 89 fits into 122 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 89 from 122.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 330 / 89

Step 5:
When dividing 330 by 89, we get 3 with a remainder of 63.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 313.0
If we take 267 away from 330, we end up with 63.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 63 and repeat the process: 634 / 89

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 634 by 89, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3137.0
If we take 623 away from 634, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 89, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3137.1
Subtract 89 from 110 to 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
210 divided by 89 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3137.12
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 178 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 89, we get 3 with a remainder of 53.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3137.123
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 267 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 530 by 89, we get 5 and a remainder of 85.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3137.1235
If we subtract 445 from 530, we get 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 89 fits into 850 9 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3137.12359
Deduct 801 from 850 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 490 by 89, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3137.123595
Deduct 445 from 490 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 450 by 89, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3137.1235955
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 445 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3137.1235955 with a remaining 5e-08.
