We're dividing 552677 by 79 
Our goal is to divide 552677 by 79.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 55 0 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 55 leaves us with 55.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 552 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 552 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 78 after subtracting 474 from 552.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 78 and continue: 786 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
79 can be fit into 786 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 69.0
Deduct 711 from 786 and we're left with 75.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 75 and continue: 757 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
757 divided by 79 is 9 with a remainder of 46.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 699.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 711 from 757.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 467 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
79 can be fit into 467 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6995.0
If we take 395 away from 467, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 720 by 79, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6995.9
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 711 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
90 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6995.91
If we take 79 away from 90, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
79 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6995.911
If we subtract 79 from 110, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The final result is 6995.911 with a remainder of 0.0031.
