Let's divide 879551 by 5
We want to divide 879551 by 5.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 5 fits into 8 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 5 from 8 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 5

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 37 by 5, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 35 from 37 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 5

Step 3:
When dividing 29 by 5, we get 5 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 175.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 25 from 29.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 45 / 5

Moving on to step 4:
The number 5 fits into 45 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1759.0
If we take 45 away from 45, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 5 / 5

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 5 by 5, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17591.0
Subtract 5 from 5 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 1 / 5

Step 6:
If we divide 1 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 175910.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 5, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 175910.2
Deduct 10 from 10 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 175910.2
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
0 divided by 5 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 175910.2
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 175910.2 with a remainder of 0.0.
