We're dividing 401914 by 79 
We want to divide 401914 by 79.

On to step 1:
79 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 79

On to step 2:
79 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 401 / 79

Step 3:
If we divide 401 by 79, we get 5 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 395 from 401 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 79

Step 4:
If we divide 69 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 69.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtract 0 from 69 to get 69.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 691 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 691 8 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 508.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 632 from 691.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 594 / 79

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 594 by 79, we get 7 with a remainder of 41.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5087.0
Deduct 553 from 594 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
79 can be fit into 410 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5087.5
Subtracting 395 from 410 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 8:
79 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5087.51
Deduct 79 from 150 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 710 by 79, we get 8 and a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5087.518
If we take 632 away from 710, we end up with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Step 10:
79 can be fit into 780 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5087.5189
Subtracting 711 from 780 leaves us with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 690 by 79, we get 8 and a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5087.51898
If we subtract 632 from 690, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 580 by 79, we get 7 with a remainder of 27.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5087.518987
Subtract 553 from 580 to get 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 13:
79 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5087.5189873
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 237 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
330 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5087.51898734
If we take 316 away from 330, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5087.51898734 and a remainder of 1.4e-08.
