342440 divided by 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 342440 can be divided by 79.

Step 1:
79 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 34 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 34 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 34, we get 34.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 342 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
342 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 316 from 342.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 264 / 79

Step 4:
79 can be fit into 264 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we take 237 away from 264, we end up with 27.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 274 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 274 3 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 433.0
If we take 237 away from 274, we end up with 37.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 370 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 370 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 54.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4334.0
If we take 316 away from 370, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 540 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 66.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4334.6
If we take 474 away from 540, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
79 goes into 660 8 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4334.68
Subtract 632 from 660 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
280 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 43.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4334.683
Deduct 237 from 280 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
79 goes into 430 5 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4334.6835
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
79 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4334.68354
Subtract 316 from 350 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
79 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4334.683544
Subtract 316 from 340 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 4334.683544 and a remainder of 2.4e-06.
