We look at the division of 551967 by 79 
Let's see how many times 79 fits into 551967.

Let's proceed to step 1:
79 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
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

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 551 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
79 can be fit into 551 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 474 from 551, we get 77.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 77, then carry on: 779 / 79

Let's proceed to step 4:
779 divided by 79 is 9 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69.0
If we take 711 away from 779, we end up with 68.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 686 / 79

On to step 5:
686 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 54.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 698.0
If we subtract 632 from 686, we get 54.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 547 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 547 6 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6986.0
Subtract 474 from 547 to get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
79 goes into 730 9 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6986.9
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 711 from 730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
190 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6986.92
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 158 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6986.924
Deduct 316 from 320 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
79 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6986.924
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 400 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6986.92405
Subtracting 395 from 400 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 50 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6986.92405
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
79 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6986.9240506
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 474 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 79 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6986.92405063
If we subtract 237 from 260, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

The final result is 6986.92405063 with a remainder of 2.3e-08.
