971421 ÷ 79 
We're looking to find how many times 79 goes into 971421.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 79 away from 97, we end up with 18.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 181 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
79 can be fit into 181 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 158 away from 181, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 234 / 79

On to step 4:
79 can be fit into 234 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122.0
Subtract 158 from 234 to get 76.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 76, then carry on: 762 / 79

Advancing to step 5:
79 goes into 762 9 times with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1229.0
Subtracting 711 from 762 leaves us with 51.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 511 / 79

On to step 6:
79 can be fit into 511 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12296.0
Subtract 474 from 511 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 370 4 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12296.4
Deduct 316 from 370 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 79 fits into 540 6 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12296.46
Subtracting 474 from 540 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
660 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12296.468
Subtracting 632 from 660 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
79 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12296.4683
If we subtract 237 from 280, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 79 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12296.46835
Deduct 395 from 430 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
79 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12296.468354
Deduct 316 from 350 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
340 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12296.4683544
Deduct 316 from 340 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12296.4683544 with a balance of 2.4e-07.
