We divide 488235 by 79
Let's see how many times 79 fits into 488235.

Moving on to step 1:
79 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
79 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 488 / 79

On to step 3:
79 goes into 488 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 474 from 488 leaves us with 14.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 142 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
79 can be fit into 142 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtracting 79 from 142 leaves us with 63.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 633 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
79 goes into 633 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 618.0
If we take 632 away from 633, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
79 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6180.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 79 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6180.1
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 79 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 79 fits into 710 8 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6180.18
Subtract 632 from 710 to get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 780 by 79, we get 9 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6180.189
Subtract 711 from 780 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
690 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 58.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6180.1898
Subtract 632 from 690 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
79 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6180.18987
Subtracting 553 from 580 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
270 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6180.189873
Subtracting 237 from 270 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
79 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6180.1898734
If we subtract 316 from 330, we get 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 14:
If we divide 140 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6180.18987341
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 79 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6180.18987341 with a balance of 6.1e-08.
