We divide 78747 by 79
Let's see how many times 79 fits into 78747.

On to step 1:
79 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 78 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 78.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 78 and we're left with 78.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 78, then repeat: 787 / 79

On to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 787 9 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 711 from 787 to get 76.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 76, then repeat: 764 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 764 9 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 99.0
Deduct 711 from 764 and we're left with 53.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 537 / 79

On to step 5:
537 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 63.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 996.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 474 from 537.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
79 goes into 630 7 times with a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 996.7
Deduct 553 from 630 and we're left with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 770 9 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 996.79
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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 590 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 37.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 996.797
Subtract 553 from 590 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
370 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 54.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 996.7974
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.

Moving on to step 10:
79 can be fit into 540 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 996.79746
Subtracting 474 from 540 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 79 fits into 660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 996.797468
Subtract 632 from 660 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 79 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 996.7974683
If we subtract 237 from 280, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 79 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 996.79746835
Subtract 395 from 430 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

The final result is 996.79746835 with a remainder of 3.5e-08.
