401734 ÷ 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 401734 can be divided by 79.

Going ahead to step 1:
79 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 401 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
79 goes into 401 5 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 395 from 401.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 67 / 79

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 67 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 67, we end up with 67.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 67, then repeat: 673 / 79

Advancing to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 673 8 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 508.0
Subtract 632 from 673 to get 41.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 414 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 414 5 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5085.0
Deduct 395 from 414 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5085.2
If we subtract 158 from 190, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
320 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5085.24
If we subtract 316 from 320, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
40 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5085.24
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5085.2405
Subtract 395 from 400 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 50 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5085.2405
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
500 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5085.240506
If we subtract 474 from 500, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
79 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5085.2405063
If we subtract 237 from 260, we 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
79 can be fit into 230 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5085.24050632
Subtracting 158 from 230 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5085.24050632 and a remainder of 7.2e-08.
