We look at the division of 400659 by 79 
Let's see how many times 79 fits into 400659.

On to step 1:
79 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 400 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
79 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 395 from 400 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 56 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
79 can be fit into 56 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtracting 0 from 56 leaves us with 56.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 565 / 79

Let's proceed to step 5:
79 can be fit into 565 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 507.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 553 from 565.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
79 can be fit into 129 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5071.0
If we take 79 away from 129, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
500 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5071.6
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 8:
When dividing 260 by 79, we get 3 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5071.63
If we subtract 237 from 260, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 230 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5071.632
Subtract 158 from 230 to 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.

On to step 10:
79 goes into 720 9 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5071.6329
Deduct 711 from 720 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 79 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5071.63291
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 79 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
110 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5071.632911
Deduct 79 from 110 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5071.632911 with a balance of 3.1e-06.
