Let's divide 491867 by 79
We want to divide 491867 by 79.

On to step 1:
79 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 79

On to step 2:
49 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 491 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 491 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 474 from 491.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 178 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
79 goes into 178 2 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62.0
Subtract 158 from 178 to get 20.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 206 / 79

On to step 5:
79 goes into 206 2 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 622.0
Deduct 158 from 206 and we're left with 48.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 487 / 79

Going ahead to step 6:
79 goes into 487 6 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6226.0
Subtract 474 from 487 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 130 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 51.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6226.1
If we subtract 79 from 130, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
79 goes into 510 6 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6226.16
Subtracting 474 from 510 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
79 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6226.164
If we subtract 316 from 360, we get 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 10:
79 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6226.1645
Deduct 395 from 440 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
450 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6226.16455
If we subtract 395 from 450, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

The final result is 6226.16455 with a remainder of 5.5e-05.
