We divide 616579 by 5
Our goal is to divide 616579 by 5.

On to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 5, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 5 from 6 to get 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 5

Step 2:
11 divided by 5 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 10 away from 11, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 5

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 16 by 5, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 123.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 15 from 16.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 5

Advancing to step 4:
5 can be fit into 15 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1233.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 15 from 15.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 5

Step 5:
5 goes into 7 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12331.0
Deduct 5 from 7 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 5

Step 6:
When dividing 29 by 5, we get 5 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 123315.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 25 from 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
5 goes into 40 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 123315.8
Subtracting 40 from 40 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 123315.8
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 123315.8
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 123315.8 with a remainder of 0.0.
