Let's divide 140863 by 79
We want to divide 140863 by 79.

Going ahead to step 1:
79 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
14 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 140 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
79 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 61.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 79 from 140 leaves us with 61.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 618 / 79

Let's proceed to step 4:
618 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 553 away from 618, we end up with 65.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 65 and continue: 656 / 79

Step 5:
79 can be fit into 656 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 178.0
Subtract 632 from 656 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 243 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
79 can be fit into 243 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1783.0
Subtracting 237 from 243 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 60 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1783.0
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 79 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1783.07
Subtract 553 from 600 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 470 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1783.075
Subtract 395 from 470 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
79 can be fit into 750 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1783.0759
Subtracting 711 from 750 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 390 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 74.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1783.07594
If we subtract 316 from 390, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
79 goes into 740 9 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1783.075949
If we take 711 away from 740, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
290 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 53.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1783.0759493
Subtract 237 from 290 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
530 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1783.07594936
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 474 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1783.07594936 with a balance of 5.6e-08.
