451978 ÷ 79 
We're looking to find how many times 79 goes into 451978.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 45 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 45 0 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 45 leaves us with 45.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 451 / 79

Step 3:
The number 79 fits into 451 5 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 395 from 451 and we're left with 56.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 569 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 569 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 57.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 553 from 569.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 167 / 79

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 167 2 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 572.0
Subtracting 158 from 167 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 98 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5721.0
Deduct 79 from 98 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5721.2
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 158 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
320 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5721.24
Subtract 316 from 320 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
79 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5721.24
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
400 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5721.2405
If we take 395 away from 400, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
50 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5721.2405
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 500 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 26.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5721.240506
Subtract 474 from 500 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
79 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5721.2405063
Subtracting 237 from 260 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 14:
79 goes into 230 2 times with a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5721.24050632
If we subtract 158 from 230, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The final result is 5721.24050632 with a remainder of 7.2e-08.
