We divide 257346 by 79
We want to figure out the number of times 257346 can be divided by 79.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
79 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 257 / 79

Step 3:
79 goes into 257 3 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 237 from 257 to get 20.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 203 / 79

On to step 4:
79 can be fit into 203 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 158 from 203 to get 45.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 454 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 454 5 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 325.0
If we subtract 395 from 454, we get 59.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 596 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 596 by 79, we get 7 with a remainder of 43.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3257.0
Subtracting 553 from 596 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3257.5
If we subtract 395 from 430, we 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 350 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3257.54
Subtracting 316 from 350 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 340 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3257.544
If we take 316 away from 340, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3257.544 with a balance of 0.0024.
