129871 divided by 79 
We want to divide 129871 by 79.

On to step 1:
79 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
79 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 129 1 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 79 from 129.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 508 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 508 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 34.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 474 from 508, we get 34.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 347 / 79

On to step 5:
79 can be fit into 347 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164.0
If we take 316 away from 347, we end up with 31.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 311 / 79

On to step 6:
If we divide 311 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1643.0
Subtracting 237 from 311 leaves us with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
79 goes into 740 9 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1643.9
Deduct 711 from 740 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
79 can be fit into 290 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1643.93
Subtracting 237 from 290 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 530 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1643.936
Deduct 474 from 530 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
79 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1643.9367
If we take 553 away from 560, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 79 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1643.9367
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
79 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1643.936708
If we take 632 away from 700, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
79 can be fit into 680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1643.9367088
If we take 632 away from 680, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1643.9367088, and the remainder is 4.8e-07.
