We're dividing 142663 by 79 
Our goal is to divide 142663 by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
14 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 142 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 142 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 63.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 79 from 142.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 63 and repeat the process: 636 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
79 goes into 636 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 632 from 636, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 79

Step 5:
79 can be fit into 46 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 180.0
Deduct 0 from 46 and we're left with 46.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 463 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 463 5 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1805.0
If we take 395 away from 463, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 7:
79 can be fit into 680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1805.8
Deduct 632 from 680 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 480 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1805.86
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 474 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 60 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1805.86
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
600 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1805.8607
If we take 553 away from 600, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 470 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1805.86075
Subtract 395 from 470 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 79 fits into 750 9 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1805.860759
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 711 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
390 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 74.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1805.8607594
If we take 316 away from 390, we end up with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 740 by 79, we get 9 with a remainder of 29.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1805.86075949
Subtracting 711 from 740 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1805.86075949 with a balance of 2.9e-08.
