We look at the division of 984601 by 79 
We want to divide 984601 by 79.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 79

Step 2:
79 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 79 from 98 to get 19.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 194 / 79

On to step 3:
79 can be fit into 194 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 158 from 194 to get 36.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 366 / 79

On to step 4:
If we divide 366 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 124.0
If we subtract 316 from 366, we get 50.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 500 / 79

Let's proceed to step 5:
79 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1246.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 474 from 500.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 261 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
79 goes into 261 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12463.0
Subtracting 237 from 261 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12463.3
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 237 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
30 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12463.3
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
300 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12463.303
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 237 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
79 can be fit into 630 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12463.3037
Subtract 553 from 630 to get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
770 divided by 79 is 9 with a remainder of 59.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12463.30379
Subtract 711 from 770 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 590 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 37.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12463.303797
If we subtract 553 from 590, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 79 fits into 370 4 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12463.3037974
Subtracting 316 from 370 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 540 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 66.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12463.30379746
Subtract 474 from 540 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12463.30379746 and a remainder of 6.6e-08.
