We look at the division of 872939 by 79 
Our goal is to divide 872939 by 79.

Step 1:
79 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
79 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 79 from 87, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 82 / 79

Step 3:
When dividing 82 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 79 from 82, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 79

On to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 39 0 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 110.0
Deduct 0 from 39 and we're left with 39.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 393 / 79

On to step 5:
79 can be fit into 393 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1104.0
If we subtract 316 from 393, we get 77.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 77 and repeat the process: 779 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 779 by 79, we get 9 with a remainder of 68.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11049.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 711 from 779.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 680 by 79, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11049.8
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 632 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
79 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11049.86
Deduct 474 from 480 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11049.86
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
79 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11049.8607
Subtract 553 from 600 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
79 goes into 470 5 times with a remainder of 75.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11049.86075
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 395 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
79 can be fit into 750 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11049.860759
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 711 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
79 goes into 390 4 times with a remainder of 74.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11049.8607594
Deduct 316 from 390 and we're left with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
79 can be fit into 740 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11049.86075949
Deduct 711 from 740 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11049.86075949 with a remaining 2.9e-08.
