We divide 41872877 by 79
We want to divide 41872877 by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 79

Step 2:
41 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 41.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 41, we end up with 41.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 418 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
418 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 395 from 418.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 237 / 79

Let's proceed to step 4:
79 can be fit into 237 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
Deduct 237 from 237 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 2 / 79

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 530.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
79 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5300.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 287 / 79

Moving on to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 287 3 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 53003.0
If we take 237 away from 287, we end up with 50.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 507 / 79

Step 8:
When dividing 507 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 530036.0
If we take 474 away from 507, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 330 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 530036.4
If we subtract 316 from 330, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 79 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 530036.41
If we subtract 79 from 140, we get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
610 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 57.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 530036.417
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 553 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
79 goes into 570 7 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 530036.4177
If we take 553 away from 570, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 530036.4177 and a remainder of 0.00017.
