Let's divide 540883 by 79
We want to figure out the number of times 540883 can be divided by 79.

On to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 79

Step 2:
79 goes into 54 0 times with a remainder of 54.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 54 leaves us with 54.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 540 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 540 6 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 474 from 540, we get 66.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 668 / 79

Step 4:
When dividing 668 by 79, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we take 632 away from 668, we end up with 36.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 368 / 79

Step 5:
368 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 684.0
Subtracting 316 from 368 leaves us with 52.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 523 / 79

On to step 6:
79 goes into 523 6 times with a remainder of 49.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6846.0
Deduct 474 from 523 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
490 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6846.6
Subtracting 474 from 490 leaves us with 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:
The number 79 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6846.62
Deduct 158 from 160 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
79 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6846.62
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
79 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6846.6202
Subtract 158 from 200 to 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.

Step 11:
If we divide 420 by 79, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6846.62025
Subtract 395 from 420 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 250 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6846.620253
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 237 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
79 can be fit into 130 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6846.6202531
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.

Advancing to step 14:
79 can be fit into 510 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6846.62025316
Subtract 474 from 510 to get 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 6846.62025316 with a remaining 3.6e-08.
