Let's divide 985741 by 79
We want to divide 985741 by 79.

Step 1:
79 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 79 away from 98, we end up with 19.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 195 / 79

On to step 3:
79 can be fit into 195 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 158 from 195 and we're left with 37.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 377 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 377 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 61.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 124.0
Subtract 316 from 377 to get 61.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 614 / 79

Step 5:
79 goes into 614 7 times with a remainder of 61.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1247.0
Subtract 553 from 614 to get 61.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 611 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 611 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12477.0
Deduct 553 from 611 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12477.7
If we subtract 553 from 580, we 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 8:
The number 79 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12477.73
Subtracting 237 from 270 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
79 can be fit into 330 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12477.734
Deduct 316 from 330 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 140 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 61.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12477.7341
Deduct 79 from 140 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
610 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 57.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12477.73417
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 553 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
79 can be fit into 570 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12477.734177
Deduct 553 from 570 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12477.734177, and the remainder is 1.7e-06.
