Let's divide 78959 by 9
Let's see how many times 9 fits into 78959.

On to step 1:
9 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 9

Let's proceed to step 2:
78 divided by 9 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 72 from 78.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 9

Moving on to step 3:
69 divided by 9 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 87.0
Deduct 63 from 69 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 65 / 9

On to step 4:
9 goes into 65 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 877.0
Deduct 63 from 65 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 9

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 29 by 9, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8773.0
Subtracting 27 from 29 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 6:
If we divide 20 by 9, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8773.2
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 9, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8773.22
If we subtract 18 from 20, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8773.22, with a leftover of 0.002.
