We're dividing 554982 by 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 554982 can be divided by 79.

Advancing to step 1:
79 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 79

Step 2:
79 can be fit into 55 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 554 / 79

Step 3:
79 goes into 554 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 553 from 554 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 79

On to step 4:
79 goes into 19 0 times with a remainder of 19.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtract 0 from 19 to get 19.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 198 / 79

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 198 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 702.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 158 from 198.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 402 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
79 can be fit into 402 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7025.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 395 from 402.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
70 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7025.0
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
79 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 68.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7025.08
If we take 632 away from 700, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7025.088
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 632 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7025.088 with a remaining 0.0048.
