266420 divided by 79 
Our goal is to divide 266420 by 79.

Step 1:
79 goes into 2 0 times 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.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 266 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 266 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 237 away from 266, we end up with 29.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 294 / 79

Step 4:
79 can be fit into 294 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we subtract 237 from 294, we get 57.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 572 / 79

On to step 5:
79 goes into 572 7 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 337.0
If we take 553 away from 572, we end up with 19.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 190 / 79

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 190 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3372.0
If we subtract 158 from 190, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 320 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3372.4
Subtract 316 from 320 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 79 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3372.4
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 79 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3372.405
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 395 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
79 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3372.405
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 79 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3372.40506
Subtracting 474 from 500 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
79 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3372.405063
Deduct 237 from 260 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
79 goes into 230 2 times with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3372.4050632
Subtracting 158 from 230 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 720 by 79, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3372.40506329
Subtract 711 from 720 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3372.40506329 with a remaining 9e-09.
