Let's divide 888871 by 79
We want to divide 888871 by 79.

Going ahead to step 1:
79 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 88 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 79 from 88 to get 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
79 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 79 from 98 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 198 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 198 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we subtract 158 from 198, we get 40.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 407 / 79

Step 5:
407 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1125.0
Subtract 395 from 407 to get 12.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 121 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 121 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11251.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 79 from 121.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11251.5
If we subtract 395 from 420, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
79 can be fit into 250 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11251.53
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 237 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
79 can be fit into 130 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11251.531
Deduct 79 from 130 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
510 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11251.5316
Subtract 474 from 510 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
79 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11251.53164
Subtracting 316 from 360 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
440 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11251.531645
Subtract 395 from 440 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
79 goes into 450 5 times with a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11251.5316455
If we take 395 away from 450, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11251.5316455 and a remainder of 5.5e-07.
