We're dividing 977965 by 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 977965 can be divided by 79.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 79 from 97.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 187 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 187 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 158 from 187, we get 29.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 299 / 79

On to step 4:
If we divide 299 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 123.0
Subtract 237 from 299 to get 62.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 626 / 79

Step 5:
The number 79 fits into 626 7 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1237.0
Subtract 553 from 626 to get 73.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 735 / 79

On to step 6:
735 divided by 79 is 9 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12379.0
If we subtract 711 from 735, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 240 by 79, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12379.3
If we subtract 237 from 240, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 79 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12379.3
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
79 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 63.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12379.303
If we take 237 away from 300, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Step 10:
79 goes into 630 7 times with a remainder of 77.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12379.3037
Subtract 553 from 630 to get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
79 goes into 770 9 times with a remainder of 59.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12379.30379
Subtracting 711 from 770 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
79 can be fit into 590 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12379.303797
If we subtract 553 from 590, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
79 can be fit into 370 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12379.3037974
If we subtract 316 from 370, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 540 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12379.30379746
If we take 474 away from 540, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

The final result is 12379.30379746 with a remainder of 6.6e-08.
