We're dividing 858849 by 79 
Let's see how many times 79 fits into 858849.

Step 1:
The number 79 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 85 / 79

On to step 2:
When dividing 85 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 79 away from 85, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 79

On to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 68 0 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 0 from 68.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 688 / 79

Step 4:
688 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we take 632 away from 688, we end up with 56.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 564 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 564 by 79, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1087.0
If we subtract 553 from 564, we get 11.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 119 / 79

On to step 6:
79 goes into 119 1 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10871.0
Subtract 79 from 119 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
79 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10871.5
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 395 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
50 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10871.5
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 9:
500 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10871.506
If we subtract 474 from 500, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 79 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10871.5063
Subtracting 237 from 260 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 230 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 10871.50632
If we subtract 158 from 230, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 12:
79 goes into 720 9 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10871.506329
If we subtract 711 from 720, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
90 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10871.5063291
If we subtract 79 from 90, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
110 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10871.50632911
If we subtract 79 from 110, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10871.50632911 with a balance of 3.1e-08.
