Let's divide 409501 by 79
Our goal is to divide 409501 by 79.

On to step 1:
79 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 409 / 79

Step 3:
79 can be fit into 409 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 395 from 409, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 145 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
145 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 66.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51.0
Deduct 79 from 145 and we're left with 66.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 66, then repeat: 660 / 79

On to step 5:
If we divide 660 by 79, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 518.0
Subtract 632 from 660 to get 28.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 281 / 79

On to step 6:
79 goes into 281 3 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5183.0
If we take 237 away from 281, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 440 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5183.5
If we subtract 395 from 440, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
450 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5183.55
Subtract 395 from 450 to get 55.
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 5183.55 with a remainder of 0.055.
