We divide 59240 by 79
We want to divide 59240 by 79.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
79 can be fit into 59 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 59 to get 59.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 592 / 79

On to step 3:
If we divide 592 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 553 from 592 leaves us with 39.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 394 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 394 4 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we subtract 316 from 394, we get 78.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 78 and continue with: 780 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 780 by 79, we get 9 and a remainder of 69.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 749.0
Subtract 711 from 780 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 6:
79 goes into 690 8 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 749.8
Deduct 632 from 690 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 580 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 749.87
If we subtract 553 from 580, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 79 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 749.873
If we subtract 237 from 270, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
79 can be fit into 330 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 749.8734
Subtracting 316 from 330 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
79 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 61.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 749.87341
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 79 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
79 goes into 610 7 times with a remainder of 57.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 749.873417
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 553 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 79 fits into 570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 749.8734177
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 553 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Our division results in 749.8734177 with a remaining 1.7e-07.
