Let's divide 215166 by 79
We want to divide 215166 by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
79 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 79

Step 2:
The number 79 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 215 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 215 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 57.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 158 from 215.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 571 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
571 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 553 from 571, we get 18.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 186 / 79

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 186 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 272.0
Subtracting 158 from 186 leaves us with 28.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 286 / 79

Step 6:
79 goes into 286 3 times with a remainder of 49.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2723.0
If we subtract 237 from 286, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
79 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2723.6
Subtract 474 from 490 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
79 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2723.62
If we subtract 158 from 160, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2723.62
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
79 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2723.6202
If we subtract 158 from 200, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
79 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2723.62025
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 395 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 250 by 79, we get 3 with a remainder of 13.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2723.620253
Deduct 237 from 250 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
79 can be fit into 130 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2723.6202531
If we take 79 away from 130, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
79 goes into 510 6 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2723.62025316
If we take 474 away from 510, we end up 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.

Our division results in 2723.62025316 with a remaining 3.6e-08.
