Let's divide 478967 by 79
Our goal is to divide 478967 by 79.

On to step 1:
79 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 79

Step 2:
If we divide 47 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 478 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 478 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 474 from 478 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 496 / 79

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 496 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 606.0
If we take 474 away from 496, we end up with 22.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 227 / 79

Step 6:
227 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6062.0
Subtracting 158 from 227 leaves us with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 690 by 79, we get 8 and a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6062.8
Subtract 632 from 690 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 8:
580 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6062.87
Subtract 553 from 580 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
79 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6062.873
Deduct 237 from 270 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
79 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6062.8734
If we take 316 away from 330, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 140 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 61.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6062.87341
Subtracting 79 from 140 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
79 goes into 610 7 times with a remainder of 57.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6062.873417
If we take 553 away from 610, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 79 fits into 570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6062.8734177
Subtract 553 from 570 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6062.8734177 with a remaining 1.7e-07.
