586908 ÷ 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 586908 can be divided by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 79

Step 2:
79 goes into 58 0 times with a remainder of 58.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 58, we end up with 58.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 586 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
79 goes into 586 7 times with a remainder of 33.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 553 from 586, we get 33.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 339 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
79 goes into 339 4 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 74.0
Subtracting 316 from 339 leaves us with 23.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 230 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 230 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 742.0
If we take 158 away from 230, we end up with 72.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 728 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
728 divided by 79 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7429.0
Subtracting 711 from 728 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.

Advancing to step 7:
79 goes into 170 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7429.2
If we subtract 158 from 170, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 79 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7429.21
Subtract 79 from 120 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
410 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7429.215
If we subtract 395 from 410, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
79 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7429.2151
If we subtract 79 from 150, we get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 710 by 79, we get 8 with a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7429.21518
If we subtract 632 from 710, we get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 780 by 79, we get 9 and a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7429.215189
Subtract 711 from 780 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 690 by 79, we get 8 and a remainder of 58.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7429.2151898
Subtract 632 from 690 to get 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 14:
The number 79 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7429.21518987
If we subtract 553 from 580, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7429.21518987 with a remaining 2.7e-08.
