Let's divide 979859 by 99
We're looking to find how many times 99 goes into 979859.

Step 1:
99 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 99

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 99, we get 0 and a remainder of 97.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 97 after subtracting 0 from 97.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 97 and continue with: 979 / 99

Let's proceed to step 3:
979 divided by 99 is 9 with a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 891 from 979 and we're left with 88.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 88, then carry on: 888 / 99

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 99 fits into 888 8 times, leaving a remainder of 96.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 98.0
If we subtract 792 from 888, we get 96.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 96 and repeat the process: 965 / 99

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 965 by 99, we get 9 and a remainder of 74.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 989.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 891 from 965.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 749 / 99

Step 6:
The number 99 fits into 749 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9897.0
Subtracting 693 from 749 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 560 by 99, we get 5 and a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9897.5
Subtracting 495 from 560 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 650 by 99, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9897.56
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 594 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 99 fits into 560 5 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9897.565
Subtract 495 from 560 to get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
99 goes into 650 6 times with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9897.5656
If we subtract 594 from 650, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
99 can be fit into 560 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9897.56565
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 495 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
99 goes into 650 6 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9897.565656
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 594 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
99 goes into 560 5 times with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9897.5656565
If we take 495 away from 560, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
650 divided by 99 is 6 with a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9897.56565656
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 594 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9897.56565656 with a remaining 5.6e-08.
