We're dividing 296990 by 79 
We're looking to find how many times 79 goes into 296990.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 79

Step 2:
79 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 296 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
79 goes into 296 3 times with a remainder of 59.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 237 from 296.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 599 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 599 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 46.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 553 away from 599, we end up with 46.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 469 / 79

Step 5:
79 can be fit into 469 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 375.0
If we subtract 395 from 469, we get 74.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 74 and repeat the process: 740 / 79

On to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 740 9 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3759.0
If we subtract 711 from 740, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
79 goes into 290 3 times with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3759.3
Deduct 237 from 290 and we're left with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 530 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3759.36
Subtracting 474 from 530 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
79 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3759.367
If we take 553 away from 560, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
79 goes into 70 0 times with a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3759.367
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 11:
700 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3759.36708
If we take 632 away from 700, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
79 goes into 680 8 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3759.367088
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 632 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3759.367088 with a balance of 4.8e-06.
