490861 ÷ 79 
We want to divide 490861 by 79.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 4 0 times, leaving 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.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 79

Step 2:
If we divide 49 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 49 to get 49.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 490 / 79

Step 3:
490 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 474 from 490 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 79

Step 4:
When dividing 168 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we subtract 158 from 168, we get 10.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 106 / 79

On to step 5:
106 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 621.0
If we take 79 away from 106, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 271 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 271 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6213.0
If we take 237 away from 271, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 340 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6213.4
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 316 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 79, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6213.43
Deduct 237 from 240 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 30 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6213.43
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
79 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6213.4303
Subtracting 237 from 300 leaves us with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 79 fits into 630 7 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6213.43037
Deduct 553 from 630 and we're left with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 770 by 79, we get 9 and a remainder of 59.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6213.430379
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 711 from 770.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
590 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6213.4303797
Deduct 553 from 590 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 370 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 54.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6213.43037974
If we subtract 316 from 370, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6213.43037974 with a remaining 5.4e-08.
