901985 ÷ 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 901985 can be divided by 79.

Going ahead to step 1:
79 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 90 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
79 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 79 from 90, we get 11.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 111 / 79

Step 3:
The number 79 fits into 111 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 79 from 111, we get 32.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 329 / 79

Let's proceed to step 4:
79 can be fit into 329 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 114.0
If we subtract 316 from 329, we get 13.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 138 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
79 goes into 138 1 times with a remainder of 59.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1141.0
Subtracting 79 from 138 leaves us with 59.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 595 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 595 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11417.0
Subtract 553 from 595 to get 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 7:
79 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11417.5
Subtracting 395 from 420 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 250 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11417.53
If we take 237 away from 250, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
79 goes into 130 1 times with a remainder of 51.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11417.531
Deduct 79 from 130 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
510 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11417.5316
Subtracting 474 from 510 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 360 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11417.53164
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 316 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
440 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11417.531645
If we subtract 395 from 440, we get 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 13:
If we divide 450 by 79, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11417.5316455
Deduct 395 from 450 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11417.5316455 and a remainder of 5.5e-07.
