261311 divided by 79 
We want to divide 261311 by 79.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 79

On to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 261 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
261 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 237 from 261 leaves us with 24.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 243 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
79 goes into 243 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we subtract 237 from 243, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 61 0 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 330.0
If we subtract 0 from 61, we get 61.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 611 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 611 7 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3307.0
If we take 553 away from 611, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
79 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3307.7
Subtracting 553 from 580 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
270 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3307.73
Subtract 237 from 270 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 9:
79 can be fit into 330 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3307.734
If we subtract 316 from 330, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 79 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3307.7341
Subtracting 79 from 140 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 79 fits into 610 7 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3307.73417
Subtract 553 from 610 to get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
79 goes into 570 7 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3307.734177
Deduct 553 from 570 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3307.734177 with a remaining 1.7e-06.
