212942 ÷ 79 
Let's see how many times 79 fits into 212942.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 212 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 212 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 54.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 158 from 212 and we're left with 54.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 549 / 79

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 549 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 75.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 474 from 549 and we're left with 75.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 75 and continue with: 754 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 754 by 79, we get 9 and a remainder of 43.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 269.0
If we take 711 away from 754, we end up with 43.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 432 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
432 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 37.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2695.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 395 from 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
79 can be fit into 370 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2695.4
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 316 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 8:
79 can be fit into 540 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2695.46
Subtract 474 from 540 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2695.468
Deduct 632 from 660 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
79 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2695.4683
Deduct 237 from 280 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
430 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2695.46835
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 395 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
350 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2695.468354
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 316 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
79 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2695.4683544
If we subtract 316 from 340, 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.

After the division, we end up with 2695.4683544 and a remainder of 2.4e-07.
