We divide 161740 by 79
We want to divide 161740 by 79.

On to step 1:
79 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 79

Step 2:
If we divide 16 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 161 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
161 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 3.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 158 from 161 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 79

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 37 0 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 0 from 37.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 374 / 79

Step 5:
The number 79 fits into 374 4 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 204.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 316 from 374.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 580 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
580 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2047.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 553 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
79 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2047.3
Subtracting 237 from 270 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 79 fits into 330 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2047.34
If we subtract 316 from 330, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 140 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2047.341
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.

Step 10:
The number 79 fits into 610 7 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2047.3417
Deduct 553 from 610 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
79 goes into 570 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2047.34177
If we take 553 away from 570, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2047.34177, and the remainder is 1.7e-05.
