972140 ÷ 79 
We want to divide 972140 by 79.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 79

On to step 2:
97 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 79 from 97, we get 18.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 182 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 182 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 158 from 182.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 241 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 241 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 123.0
If we subtract 237 from 241, we get 4.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 44 / 79

On to step 5:
79 can be fit into 44 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1230.0
Deduct 0 from 44 and we're left with 44.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 440 / 79

On to step 6:
When dividing 440 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12305.0
Deduct 395 from 440 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
79 goes into 450 5 times with a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12305.5
Subtracting 395 from 450 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 550 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 76.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12305.56
If we subtract 474 from 550, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
79 goes into 760 9 times with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12305.569
If we take 711 away from 760, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
490 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12305.5696
Deduct 474 from 490 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
160 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12305.56962
If we subtract 158 from 160, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
79 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12305.56962
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 13:
200 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12305.5696202
If we subtract 158 from 200, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 79 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12305.56962025
If we subtract 395 from 420, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12305.56962025 with a balance of 2.5e-08.
