1742371 divided by 979 
We want to figure out the number of times 1742371 can be divided by 979.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 979, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 979

Moving on to step 2:
17 divided by 979 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 174 / 979

On to step 3:
When dividing 174 by 979, we get 0 with a remainder of 174.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 174 after subtracting 0 from 174.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 174, then repeat: 1742 / 979

Advancing to step 4:
1742 divided by 979 is 1 with a remainder of 763.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 763 after subtracting 979 from 1742.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 763, then carry on: 7633 / 979

Step 5:
The number 979 fits into 7633 7 times, leaving a remainder of 780.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 6853 from 7633, we get 780.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 780 and continue: 7807 / 979

Step 6:
7807 divided by 979 is 7 with a remainder of 954.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 177.0
The remainder is 954 after subtracting 6853 from 7807.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 954 and repeat the process: 9541 / 979

On to step 7:
If we divide 9541 by 979, we get 9 and a remainder of 730.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1779.0
Subtracting 8811 from 9541 leaves us with 730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 979 fits into 7300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 447.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1779.7
If we take 6853 away from 7300, we end up with 447.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 979 fits into 4470 4 times, leaving a remainder of 554.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1779.74
Subtracting 3916 from 4470 leaves us with 554.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5540, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 5540 by 979, we get 5 with a remainder of 645.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1779.745
Subtract 4895 from 5540 to get 645.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 6450 by 979, we get 6 with a remainder of 576.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1779.7456
Subtracting 5874 from 6450 leaves us with 576.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
979 goes into 5760 5 times with a remainder of 865.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1779.74565
If we take 4895 away from 5760, we end up with 865.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
979 can be fit into 8650 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 818.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1779.745658
Subtract 7832 from 8650 to get 818.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 979 fits into 8180 8 times, leaving a remainder of 348.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1779.7456588
If we take 7832 away from 8180, we end up with 348.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3480, and continue the process.

The final result is 1779.7456588 with a remainder of 3.48e-06.
