Let's divide 4287246 by 979
Our goal is to divide 4287246 by 979.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 979, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 979

On to step 2:
979 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 42 and we're left with 42.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 428 / 979

On to step 3:
The number 979 fits into 428 0 times, leaving a remainder of 428.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 428 after subtracting 0 from 428.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 428 and repeat the process: 4287 / 979

Moving on to step 4:
979 can be fit into 4287 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 371.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 3916 from 4287 to get 371.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 371, then repeat: 3712 / 979

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 3712 by 979, we get 3 with a remainder of 775.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we subtract 2937 from 3712, we get 775.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 775, then carry on: 7754 / 979

Going ahead to step 6:
7754 divided by 979 is 7 with a remainder of 901.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 437.0
The remainder is 901 after subtracting 6853 from 7754.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 901, then carry on: 9016 / 979

Advancing to step 7:
979 can be fit into 9016 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 205.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4379.0
If we take 8811 away from 9016, we end up with 205.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2050, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
979 goes into 2050 2 times with a remainder of 92.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4379.2
Subtract 1958 from 2050 to get 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 920 by 979, we get 0 with a remainder of 920.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4379.2
Deduct 0 from 920 and we're left with 920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
979 goes into 9200 9 times with a remainder of 389.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4379.209
If we subtract 8811 from 9200, we get 389.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3890, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 979 fits into 3890 3 times, leaving a remainder of 953.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4379.2093
If we subtract 2937 from 3890, we get 953.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9530, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 9530 by 979, we get 9 with a remainder of 719.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4379.20939
The remainder is 719 after subtracting 8811 from 9530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 7190 by 979, we get 7 with a remainder of 337.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4379.209397
Subtracting 6853 from 7190 leaves us with 337.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
979 can be fit into 3370 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 433.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4379.2093973
If we subtract 2937 from 3370, we get 433.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 4330 by 979, we get 4 and a remainder of 414.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4379.20939734
Deduct 3916 from 4330 and we're left with 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4379.20939734, with a leftover of 4.14e-07.
