588608 ÷ 79 
Our goal is to divide 588608 by 79.

Advancing to step 1:
79 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 79

Step 2:
58 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 0 from 58.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 588 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
79 can be fit into 588 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 553 from 588 leaves us with 35.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 356 / 79

On to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 356 4 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 316 from 356.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 400 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
79 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 745.0
Subtracting 395 from 400 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 79

On to step 6:
When dividing 58 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7450.0
If we take 0 away from 58, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
79 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7450.7
If we take 553 away from 580, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
79 goes into 270 3 times with a remainder of 33.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7450.73
If we subtract 237 from 270, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 9:
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: 7450.734
Deduct 316 from 330 and we're left with 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 10:
If we divide 140 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7450.7341
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 610 by 79, we get 7 with a remainder of 57.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7450.73417
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 553 from 610.
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 12:
When dividing 570 by 79, we get 7 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7450.734177
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.

After the division, we end up with 7450.734177 and a remainder of 1.7e-06.
