We look at the division of 502983 by 79 
We want to divide 502983 by 79.

Step 1:
The number 79 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 502 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 502 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 474 from 502 to get 28.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 289 / 79

Step 4:
79 goes into 289 3 times with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtracting 237 from 289 leaves us with 52.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 528 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 528 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 54.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 636.0
Subtract 474 from 528 to get 54.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 543 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 543 6 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6366.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 474 from 543.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 690 by 79, we get 8 with a remainder of 58.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6366.8
Subtracting 632 from 690 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 580 by 79, we get 7 with a remainder of 27.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6366.87
Deduct 553 from 580 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 270 by 79, we get 3 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6366.873
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 237 from 270.
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 10:
79 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6366.8734
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 316 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
140 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6366.87341
Deduct 79 from 140 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 610 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6366.873417
Subtract 553 from 610 to get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
79 can be fit into 570 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6366.8734177
If we subtract 553 from 570, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6366.8734177, with a leftover of 1.7e-07.
