We're dividing 177842 by 79 
Let's see how many times 79 fits into 177842.

On to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
79 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 177 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 177 2 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 158 from 177 to get 19.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 198 / 79

Let's proceed to step 4:
198 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 158 away from 198, we end up with 40.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 404 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
404 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 225.0
Subtract 395 from 404 to get 9.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 92 / 79

On to step 6:
92 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2251.0
If we take 79 away from 92, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 130 1 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2251.1
Subtract 79 from 130 to 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 510 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2251.16
Subtract 474 from 510 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 9:
79 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2251.164
Deduct 316 from 360 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 10:
79 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2251.1645
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 450 by 79, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2251.16455
Subtract 395 from 450 to 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.

Our division results in 2251.16455 with a remaining 5.5e-05.
