142998 ÷ 79 
Our goal is to divide 142998 by 79.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
14 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 142 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 142 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 79 from 142 to get 63.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 639 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
79 can be fit into 639 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 632 from 639 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 79 / 79

Advancing to step 5:
79 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181.0
If we take 79 away from 79, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 79

On to step 6:
79 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1810.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
80 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1810.1
Subtract 79 from 80 to 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.

Step 8:
10 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1810.1
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1810.101
If we subtract 79 from 100, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
210 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1810.1012
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 79 fits into 520 6 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1810.10126
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 474 from 520.
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:
460 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1810.101265
If we take 395 away from 460, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 650 by 79, we get 8 with a remainder of 18.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1810.1012658
Subtract 632 from 650 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
79 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1810.10126582
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.

The quotient of the division is 1810.10126582, and the remainder is 2.2e-08.
