259987 ÷ 79 
Let's see how many times 79 fits into 259987.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
25 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 259 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
79 can be fit into 259 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 237 away from 259, we end up with 22.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 229 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 229 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 158 from 229, we get 71.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 718 / 79

Let's proceed to step 5:
79 goes into 718 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 329.0
Deduct 711 from 718 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 77 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 77 0 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3290.0
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 0 from 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 770 by 79, we get 9 and a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3290.9
Subtracting 711 from 770 leaves us with 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 8:
If we divide 590 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 37.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3290.97
Subtract 553 from 590 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 370 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 54.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3290.974
Subtract 316 from 370 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 10:
79 goes into 540 6 times with a remainder of 66.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3290.9746
Deduct 474 from 540 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 660 by 79, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3290.97468
Deduct 632 from 660 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 12:
280 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3290.974683
Subtracting 237 from 280 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 79 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3290.9746835
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 395 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 79 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3290.97468354
Subtract 316 from 350 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3290.97468354 and a remainder of 3.4e-08.
