We're dividing 246581 by 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 246581 can be divided by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 79

On to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 246 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
79 goes into 246 3 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 237 from 246, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 95 / 79

Step 4:
The number 79 fits into 95 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 79 from 95, we get 16.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 168 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 10.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 312.0
Subtracting 158 from 168 leaves us with 10.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 101 / 79

Going ahead to step 6:
79 can be fit into 101 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3121.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 79 from 101.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
220 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3121.2
Deduct 158 from 220 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 620 by 79, we get 7 with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3121.27
Deduct 553 from 620 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 670 8 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3121.278
If we take 632 away from 670, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
79 goes into 380 4 times with a remainder of 64.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3121.2784
If we subtract 316 from 380, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
79 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3121.27848
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 632 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
80 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3121.278481
Subtracting 79 from 80 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
10 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3121.278481
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 100 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3121.27848101
If we take 79 away from 100, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

The final result is 3121.27848101 with a remainder of 2.1e-08.
