We're dividing 546772 by 79 
Our goal is to divide 546772 by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
79 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
54 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 54.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 54 to get 54.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 546 / 79

On to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 546 6 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 474 from 546 and we're left with 72.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 727 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 727 by 79, we get 9 and a remainder of 16.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 69.0
If we take 711 away from 727, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 167 / 79

On to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 167 2 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 692.0
Subtracting 158 from 167 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 92 / 79

Going ahead to step 6:
92 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6921.0
Subtracting 79 from 92 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
130 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6921.1
Subtract 79 from 130 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 510 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6921.16
Deduct 474 from 510 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
79 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6921.164
Subtract 316 from 360 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
79 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6921.1645
Deduct 395 from 440 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 79 fits into 450 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6921.16455
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 395 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

The final result is 6921.16455 with a remainder of 5.5e-05.
