272438 divided by 579 
We want to figure out the number of times 272438 can be divided by 579.

Let's proceed to step 1:
579 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 579

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 579, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 272 / 579

On to step 3:
579 can be fit into 272 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 272.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 272 after subtracting 0 from 272.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 272, then carry on: 2724 / 579

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 2724 by 579, we get 4 with a remainder of 408.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 2316 from 2724 leaves us with 408.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 408 and continue with: 4083 / 579

Step 5:
579 can be fit into 4083 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Deduct 4053 from 4083 and we're left with 30.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 308 / 579

Step 6:
The number 579 fits into 308 0 times, leaving a remainder of 308.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 470.0
The remainder is 308 after subtracting 0 from 308.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3080, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 3080 by 579, we get 5 and a remainder of 185.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 470.5
If we subtract 2895 from 3080, we get 185.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1850, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 1850 by 579, we get 3 and a remainder of 113.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 470.53
Subtracting 1737 from 1850 leaves us with 113.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
579 goes into 1130 1 times with a remainder of 551.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 470.531
If we subtract 579 from 1130, we get 551.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5510, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
5510 divided by 579 is 9 with a remainder of 299.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 470.5319
Subtracting 5211 from 5510 leaves us with 299.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2990, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 2990 by 579, we get 5 with a remainder of 95.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 470.53195
Deduct 2895 from 2990 and we're left with 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
579 goes into 950 1 times with a remainder of 371.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 470.531951
If we subtract 579 from 950, we get 371.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 579 fits into 3710 6 times, leaving a remainder of 236.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 470.5319516
The remainder is 236 after subtracting 3474 from 3710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 579 fits into 2360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 470.53195164
If we take 2316 away from 2360, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 470.53195164, with a leftover of 4.4e-08.
