Let's divide 31429 by 79
Let's see how many times 79 fits into 31429.

Going ahead to step 1:
3 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 31 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 314 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 314 3 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 237 from 314, we get 77.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 77, then carry on: 772 / 79

Step 4:
79 can be fit into 772 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtract 711 from 772 to get 61.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 619 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 619 by 79, we get 7 with a remainder of 66.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 397.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 553 from 619.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
79 can be fit into 660 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 397.8
If we take 632 away from 660, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 397.83
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 237 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 79 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 397.835
Deduct 395 from 430 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
350 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 397.8354
If we take 316 away from 350, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 79 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 397.83544
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 316 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 397.83544 with a remainder of 2.4e-05.
