We look at the division of 3128701 by 879 
Let's see how many times 879 fits into 3128701.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 879 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 879

Moving on to step 2:
The number 879 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 312 / 879

Advancing to step 3:
879 can be fit into 312 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 312.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 312, we end up with 312.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 312, then repeat: 3128 / 879

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 3128 by 879, we get 3 with a remainder of 491.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 2637 away from 3128, we end up with 491.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 491 and repeat the process: 4917 / 879

Moving on to step 5:
879 goes into 4917 5 times with a remainder of 522.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we subtract 4395 from 4917, we get 522.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 522 and continue: 5220 / 879

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 5220 by 879, we get 5 with a remainder of 825.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 355.0
If we subtract 4395 from 5220, we get 825.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 825, then repeat: 8251 / 879

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 879 fits into 8251 9 times, leaving a remainder of 340.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3559.0
Subtracting 7911 from 8251 leaves us with 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 3400 by 879, we get 3 and a remainder of 763.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3559.3
If we subtract 2637 from 3400, we get 763.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7630, and continue the process.

Step 9:
879 can be fit into 7630 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 598.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3559.38
If we subtract 7032 from 7630, we get 598.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5980, and continue the process.

Step 10:
5980 divided by 879 is 6 with a remainder of 706.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3559.386
Deduct 5274 from 5980 and we're left with 706.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7060, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
879 can be fit into 7060 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3559.3868
If we take 7032 away from 7060, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 280 by 879, we get 0 with a remainder of 280.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3559.3868
If we take 0 away from 280, we end up with 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2800, and continue the process.

Step 13:
2800 divided by 879 is 3 with a remainder of 163.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3559.386803
The remainder is 163 after subtracting 2637 from 2800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1630, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 1630 by 879, we get 1 with a remainder of 751.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3559.3868031
The remainder is 751 after subtracting 879 from 1630.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
879 can be fit into 7510 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 478.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3559.38680318
The remainder is 478 after subtracting 7032 from 7510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4780, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3559.38680318 with a balance of 4.78e-07.
