Let's divide 424478 by 79
We want to divide 424478 by 79.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 424 / 79

On to step 3:
79 goes into 424 5 times with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 395 from 424 leaves us with 29.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 294 / 79

On to step 4:
79 can be fit into 294 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtract 237 from 294 to get 57.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 577 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
79 can be fit into 577 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 537.0
If we subtract 553 from 577, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 248 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
79 can be fit into 248 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5373.0
Subtract 237 from 248 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
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: 5373.1
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 79 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 8:
79 goes into 310 3 times with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5373.13
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 237 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
79 goes into 730 9 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5373.139
If we take 711 away from 730, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
79 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5373.1392
If we take 158 away from 190, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5373.13924
Subtract 316 from 320 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 40 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5373.13924
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 400 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5373.1392405
Subtracting 395 from 400 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
50 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5373.1392405
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5373.1392405, with a leftover of 5e-08.
