We're dividing 138197 by 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 138197 can be divided by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 13 / 79

Step 2:
If we divide 13 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 13, we end up with 13.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 138 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 138 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 59.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 79 away from 138, we end up with 59.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 591 / 79

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 591 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 553 from 591, we get 38.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 389 / 79

Let's proceed to step 5:
79 can be fit into 389 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 174.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 316 from 389.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 737 / 79

Step 6:
If we divide 737 by 79, we get 9 and a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1749.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 711 from 737.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 79 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1749.3
Subtract 237 from 260 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 230 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1749.32
Subtract 158 from 230 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
79 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1749.329
Subtracting 711 from 720 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
79 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1749.3291
Subtracting 79 from 90 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 110 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1749.32911
Subtracting 79 from 110 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1749.32911 and a remainder of 3.1e-05.
