We're dividing 120874 by 79 
Let's see how many times 79 fits into 120874.

Moving on to step 1:
79 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
79 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 120 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 79 from 120, we get 41.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 418 / 79

On to step 4:
When dividing 418 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 23.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 395 from 418 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 237 / 79

Step 5:
237 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 153.0
Subtract 237 from 237 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
79 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1530.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1530.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 400 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1530.05
Subtract 395 from 400 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 50 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1530.05
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
500 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1530.0506
Deduct 474 from 500 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
79 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1530.05063
Subtract 237 from 260 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 79 fits into 230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1530.050632
If we take 158 away from 230, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 79 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1530.0506329
If we subtract 711 from 720, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
79 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1530.05063291
If we subtract 79 from 90, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1530.05063291 with a remaining 1.1e-08.
