We're dividing 396981 by 79 
We want to divide 396981 by 79.

On to step 1:
79 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 79

On to step 2:
79 can be fit into 39 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 39 to get 39.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 396 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 396 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 395 from 396.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
19 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
Deduct 0 from 19 and we're left with 19.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 198 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 198 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 502.0
Subtracting 158 from 198 leaves us with 40.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 401 / 79

Going ahead to step 6:
79 can be fit into 401 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5025.0
Deduct 395 from 401 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 60 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5025.0
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 79 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5025.07
Subtracting 553 from 600 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
79 can be fit into 470 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5025.075
Deduct 395 from 470 and we're left with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 750 by 79, we get 9 and a remainder of 39.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5025.0759
If we take 711 away from 750, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 390 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5025.07594
Deduct 316 from 390 and we're left with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
740 divided by 79 is 9 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5025.075949
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 711 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
290 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5025.0759493
Deduct 237 from 290 and we're left with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
79 goes into 530 6 times with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5025.07594936
If we subtract 474 from 530, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5025.07594936, and the remainder is 5.6e-08.
