We look at the division of 264643 by 79 
We want to divide 264643 by 79.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 264 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 264 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 237 from 264, we get 27.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 276 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
79 can be fit into 276 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtracting 237 from 276 leaves us with 39.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 394 / 79

Step 5:
If we divide 394 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 78.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 334.0
The remainder is 78 after subtracting 316 from 394.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 78 and repeat the process: 783 / 79

On to step 6:
783 divided by 79 is 9 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3349.0
Deduct 711 from 783 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 720 by 79, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3349.9
Subtract 711 from 720 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 90 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3349.91
Deduct 79 from 90 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3349.911
Subtracting 79 from 110 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3349.911, and the remainder is 0.0031.
