Let's divide 697987 by 79
We want to divide 697987 by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
79 goes into 69 0 times with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 69 leaves us with 69.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 697 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
79 can be fit into 697 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 632 from 697 and we're left with 65.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 65 and repeat the process: 659 / 79

On to step 4:
79 goes into 659 8 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 88.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 632 from 659.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 79

Step 5:
When dividing 278 by 79, we get 3 with a remainder of 41.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 883.0
Subtract 237 from 278 to get 41.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 417 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 417 by 79, we get 5 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8835.0
If we subtract 395 from 417, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 220 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8835.2
Subtract 158 from 220 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
79 goes into 620 7 times with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8835.27
If we take 553 away from 620, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 670 8 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8835.278
Subtract 632 from 670 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 380 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8835.2784
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 316 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 79 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8835.27848
If we take 632 away from 640, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 79 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8835.278481
If we subtract 79 from 80, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 79 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8835.278481
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 79 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8835.27848101
If we subtract 79 from 100, we 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.

The final result is 8835.27848101 with a remainder of 2.1e-08.
