987071 ÷ 79 
We're looking to find how many times 79 goes into 987071.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 79 away from 98, we end up with 19.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 197 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 197 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 158 from 197, we get 39.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 390 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 390 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 124.0
Subtract 316 from 390 to get 74.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 747 / 79

Step 5:
The number 79 fits into 747 9 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1249.0
Subtract 711 from 747 to get 36.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 361 / 79

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 361 4 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12494.0
Deduct 316 from 361 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 450 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12494.5
If we subtract 395 from 450, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
550 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 76.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12494.56
Deduct 474 from 550 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 760 by 79, we get 9 with a remainder of 49.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12494.569
If we subtract 711 from 760, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 490 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12494.5696
Deduct 474 from 490 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
79 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12494.56962
Subtract 158 from 160 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 20 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12494.56962
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
200 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 42.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12494.5696202
Deduct 158 from 200 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
79 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12494.56962025
If we take 395 away from 420, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12494.56962025 and a remainder of 2.5e-08.
