We look at the division of 587781 by 79 
We want to divide 587781 by 79.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 58 by 79, we get 0 and 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.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 587 / 79

On to step 3:
79 goes into 587 7 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 553 from 587.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 347 / 79

On to step 4:
79 can be fit into 347 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74.0
Subtract 316 from 347 to get 31.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 318 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
318 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 744.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 316 from 318.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
79 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7440.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
79 can be fit into 210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7440.2
If we subtract 158 from 210, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
79 can be fit into 520 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7440.26
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 474 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
79 can be fit into 460 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7440.265
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 395 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
79 goes into 650 8 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7440.2658
Subtracting 632 from 650 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 11:
79 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7440.26582
Subtracting 158 from 180 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 220 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7440.265822
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 158 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7440.265822 with a remaining 6.2e-06.
