We divide 78501 by 79
We want to figure out the number of times 78501 can be divided by 79.

Moving on to step 1:
7 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 79

Step 2:
When dividing 78 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 78.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 78, we end up with 78.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 78 and repeat the process: 785 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 785 9 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 711 from 785 to get 74.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 740 / 79

Step 4:
If we divide 740 by 79, we get 9 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 99.0
Subtracting 711 from 740 leaves us with 29.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 291 / 79

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 291 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 54.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 993.0
Subtracting 237 from 291 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 540 6 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 993.6
Subtracting 474 from 540 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
660 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 993.68
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 632 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
79 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 993.683
If we take 237 away from 280, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 993.6835
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 395 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 350 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 993.68354
Subtract 316 from 350 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 79 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 993.683544
Subtract 316 from 340 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 993.683544 with a remainder of 2.4e-06.
