46479 ÷ 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 46479 can be divided by 79.

Moving on to step 1:
79 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 79

Step 2:
The number 79 fits into 46 0 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 46, we end up with 46.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 464 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 464 by 79, we get 5 and a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 395 away from 464, we end up with 69.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 69 and repeat the process: 697 / 79

On to step 4:
79 goes into 697 8 times with a remainder of 65.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtracting 632 from 697 leaves us with 65.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 659 / 79

On to step 5:
When dividing 659 by 79, we get 8 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 588.0
Deduct 632 from 659 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
When dividing 270 by 79, we get 3 with a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 588.3
Subtract 237 from 270 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 330 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 588.34
Deduct 316 from 330 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
140 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 588.341
Deduct 79 from 140 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
610 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 57.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 588.3417
Subtracting 553 from 610 leaves us with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 570 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 17.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 588.34177
Deduct 553 from 570 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 588.34177, with a leftover of 1.7e-05.
