We look at the division of 272301 by 79 
Our goal is to divide 272301 by 79.

Advancing to step 1:
79 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 272 / 79

On to step 3:
79 goes into 272 3 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 237 away from 272, we end up with 35.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 353 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 353 4 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtracting 316 from 353 leaves us with 37.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 370 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 370 4 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 344.0
If we take 316 away from 370, we end up with 54.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 541 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
79 can be fit into 541 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3446.0
Subtracting 474 from 541 leaves us with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 670 by 79, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3446.8
If we subtract 632 from 670, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
79 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3446.84
Subtract 316 from 380 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 640 by 79, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3446.848
Deduct 632 from 640 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 79 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3446.8481
Deduct 79 from 80 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 10 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3446.8481
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 79 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3446.848101
If we take 79 away from 100, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
79 goes into 210 2 times with a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3446.8481012
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 158 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 520 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3446.84810126
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 474 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3446.84810126, and the remainder is 4.6e-08.
