115988 divided by 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 115988 can be divided by 79.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
79 can be fit into 11 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 115 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 115 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 79 from 115 and we're left with 36.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 369 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 369 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 53.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 316 from 369, we get 53.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 538 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
79 can be fit into 538 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 146.0
Subtracting 474 from 538 leaves us with 64.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 64, then repeat: 648 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 648 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1468.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 632 from 648.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1468.2
Deduct 158 from 160 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
20 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1468.2
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1468.202
Subtract 158 from 200 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
79 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1468.2025
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 395 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 250 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1468.20253
Subtracting 237 from 250 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 130 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1468.202531
If we subtract 79 from 130, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
79 can be fit into 510 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1468.2025316
If we take 474 away from 510, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 360 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1468.20253164
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 316 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The final result is 1468.20253164 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
