Let's divide 417824 by 79
We want to figure out the number of times 417824 can be divided by 79.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 41 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 41 0 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 41 and we're left with 41.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 417 / 79

Step 3:
The number 79 fits into 417 5 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 395 from 417 to get 22.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 228 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 228 2 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we take 158 away from 228, we end up with 70.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 702 / 79

Advancing to step 5:
79 goes into 702 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 528.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 632 from 702.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 704 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
704 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 72.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5288.0
Subtract 632 from 704 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.

Step 7:
79 goes into 720 9 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5288.9
Subtracting 711 from 720 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
90 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5288.91
Subtracting 79 from 90 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 110 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5288.911
If we take 79 away from 110, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 5288.911, and the remainder is 0.0031.
