We're dividing 494712 by 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 494712 can be divided by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
79 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 494 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 494 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 474 from 494.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 207 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
207 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 49.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 158 from 207.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 491 / 79

On to step 5:
When dividing 491 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 17.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 626.0
Subtracting 474 from 491 leaves us with 17.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 172 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
79 goes into 172 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6262.0
If we subtract 158 from 172, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
140 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6262.1
Subtract 79 from 140 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
610 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6262.17
Deduct 553 from 610 and we're left with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6262.177
Deduct 553 from 570 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6262.177 and a remainder of 0.0017.
