We look at the division of 2788696 by 879 
Let's see how many times 879 fits into 2788696.

Advancing to step 1:
879 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 879

On to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 879, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 879

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 278 by 879, we get 0 with a remainder of 278.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 278 to get 278.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 278 and repeat the process: 2788 / 879

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 2788 by 879, we get 3 and a remainder of 151.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 2637 from 2788 to get 151.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 151, then repeat: 1516 / 879

Step 5:
1516 divided by 879 is 1 with a remainder of 637.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 879 from 1516 leaves us with 637.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 637 and continue with: 6379 / 879

Advancing to step 6:
The number 879 fits into 6379 7 times, leaving a remainder of 226.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 317.0
Deduct 6153 from 6379 and we're left with 226.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 226, then repeat: 2266 / 879

Advancing to step 7:
879 can be fit into 2266 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 508.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3172.0
If we subtract 1758 from 2266, we get 508.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5080, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 5080 by 879, we get 5 and a remainder of 685.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3172.5
If we take 4395 away from 5080, we end up with 685.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6850, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 879 fits into 6850 7 times, leaving a remainder of 697.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3172.57
Subtracting 6153 from 6850 leaves us with 697.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6970, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 6970 by 879, we get 7 with a remainder of 817.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3172.577
If we take 6153 away from 6970, we end up with 817.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8170, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3172.577, with a leftover of 0.0817.
