917988 ÷ 79 
We want to divide 917988 by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 91 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
91 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 79 from 91.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 127 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 127 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 79 from 127.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 489 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 489 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 15.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 116.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 474 from 489.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 158 / 79

Step 5:
When dividing 158 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1162.0
Subtracting 158 from 158 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 79

On to step 6:
8 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11620.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
79 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11620.1
If we subtract 79 from 80, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 10 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11620.1
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11620.101
Subtracting 79 from 100 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
210 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11620.1012
If we subtract 158 from 210, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
79 goes into 520 6 times with a remainder of 46.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11620.10126
If we take 474 away from 520, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 460 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 65.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11620.101265
Deduct 395 from 460 and we're left with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Step 13:
79 goes into 650 8 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11620.1012658
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 632 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
79 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11620.10126582
Subtract 158 from 180 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11620.10126582 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
