We're dividing 904857 by 79 
We want to divide 904857 by 79.

Step 1:
79 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 90 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
79 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 79 from 90.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 114 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 114 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 35.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 79 away from 114, we end up with 35.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 358 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 358 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 114.0
Subtract 316 from 358 to get 42.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 425 / 79

Step 5:
79 goes into 425 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1145.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 395 from 425.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 307 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 307 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 70.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11453.0
If we take 237 away from 307, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 7:
79 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 68.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11453.8
Subtract 632 from 700 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 79 fits into 680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11453.88
Subtracting 632 from 680 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11453.88 with a remaining 0.048.
