We divide 3137 by 79
We want to divide 3137 by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 79

On to step 2:
79 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 313 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
79 goes into 313 3 times with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 237 from 313 and we're left with 76.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 76, then repeat: 767 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 767 9 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39.0
Deduct 711 from 767 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.

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 560 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 39.7
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.

Step 6:
When dividing 70 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39.7
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
700 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39.708
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.

Step 8:
The number 79 fits into 680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39.7088
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.

Our division results in 39.7088 with a remaining 0.00048.
