255900 divided by 79 
Let's see how many times 79 fits into 255900.

Going ahead to step 1:
79 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 79

Step 2:
79 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 255 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 255 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 237 away from 255, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 189 / 79

Step 4:
The number 79 fits into 189 2 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 158 from 189.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 310 / 79

Step 5:
79 can be fit into 310 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 323.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 237 from 310.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 730 / 79

Step 6:
730 divided by 79 is 9 with a remainder of 19.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3239.0
If we subtract 711 from 730, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 190 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3239.2
Deduct 158 from 190 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3239.24
If we subtract 316 from 320, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3239.24
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 79 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3239.2405
If we take 395 away from 400, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 50 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3239.2405
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
79 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3239.240506
Subtracting 474 from 500 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
260 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 23.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3239.2405063
If we take 237 away from 260, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
230 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3239.24050632
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 158 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3239.24050632, and the remainder is 7.2e-08.
