We look at the division of 259696 by 79 
We're looking to find how many times 79 goes into 259696.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 259 / 79

On to step 3:
79 can be fit into 259 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 237 from 259 and we're left with 22.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 226 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
226 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 158 from 226, we get 68.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 689 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
79 goes into 689 8 times with a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 328.0
If we subtract 632 from 689, we get 57.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 576 / 79

On to step 6:
576 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3287.0
Subtracting 553 from 576 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3287.2
Subtract 158 from 230 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 8:
79 goes into 720 9 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3287.29
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 711 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
79 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3287.291
Subtracting 79 from 90 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 10:
79 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3287.2911
Deduct 79 from 110 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The final result is 3287.2911 with a remainder of 0.00031.
