We're dividing 24493 by 79 
Our goal is to divide 24493 by 79.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 244 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 244 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 237 from 244 to get 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 79

On to step 4:
79 goes into 79 1 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 79 away from 79, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 3 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
79 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 310.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 30 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 310.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 79 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 310.03
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 237 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 630 by 79, we get 7 with a remainder of 77.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 310.037
Deduct 553 from 630 and we're left with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 770 by 79, we get 9 and a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 310.0379
If we take 711 away from 770, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 590 by 79, we get 7 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 310.03797
If we subtract 553 from 590, we 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 370 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 54.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 310.037974
Subtracting 316 from 370 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 540 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 66.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 310.0379746
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 474 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
79 goes into 660 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 310.03797468
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.

The final result is 310.03797468 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
