406894 divided by 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 406894 can be divided by 79.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 406 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
79 goes into 406 5 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 395 from 406.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 118 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 118 1 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 79 from 118.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 399 / 79

On to step 5:
79 can be fit into 399 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 515.0
If we take 395 away from 399, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 44 / 79

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 44 0 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5150.0
Deduct 0 from 44 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
The number 79 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5150.5
If we subtract 395 from 440, we 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.

On to step 8:
450 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5150.55
Deduct 395 from 450 and we're left 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 5150.55 and a remainder of 0.055.
