We look at the division of 688483 by 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 688483 can be divided by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 79

On to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 68 0 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 68, we get 68.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 68, then repeat: 688 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
688 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 632 away from 688, we end up with 56.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 564 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
79 can be fit into 564 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 87.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 553 from 564.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 118 / 79

Step 5:
79 goes into 118 1 times with a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 871.0
Subtracting 79 from 118 leaves us with 39.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 393 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 393 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 77.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8714.0
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 316 from 393.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Step 7:
79 goes into 770 9 times with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8714.9
If we subtract 711 from 770, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 8:
79 can be fit into 590 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8714.97
Subtract 553 from 590 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 370 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8714.974
Subtract 316 from 370 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 540 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8714.9746
Deduct 474 from 540 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 660 by 79, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8714.97468
Subtracting 632 from 660 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
79 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 43.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8714.974683
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 237 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
430 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8714.9746835
Subtract 395 from 430 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
79 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8714.97468354
If we take 316 away from 350, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The final result is 8714.97468354 with a remainder of 3.4e-08.
