Let's divide 74688 by 79
Our goal is to divide 74688 by 79.

Moving on to step 1:
79 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 74 to get 74.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 74 and repeat the process: 746 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 746 by 79, we get 9 with a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 711 from 746, we get 35.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 358 / 79

On to step 4:
79 goes into 358 4 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 94.0
Subtracting 316 from 358 leaves us with 42.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 428 / 79

Let's proceed to step 5:
79 goes into 428 5 times with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 945.0
Subtracting 395 from 428 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 330 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 945.4
If we subtract 316 from 330, 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 140 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 945.41
If we subtract 79 from 140, we 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.

On to step 8:
The number 79 fits into 610 7 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 945.417
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.

On to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 945.4177
Subtracting 553 from 570 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 945.4177, and the remainder is 0.00017.
