We're dividing 993642 by 79 
We're looking to find how many times 79 goes into 993642.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 79

Step 2:
The number 79 fits into 99 1 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 79 from 99, we get 20.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 203 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 203 2 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 158 from 203 leaves us with 45.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 456 / 79

Step 4:
456 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 61.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 125.0
Subtract 395 from 456 to get 61.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 614 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
79 can be fit into 614 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1257.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 553 from 614.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 61, then repeat: 612 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 612 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 59.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12577.0
Subtracting 553 from 612 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
590 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 37.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12577.7
If we take 553 away from 590, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 370 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 54.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12577.74
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 316 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 540 6 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12577.746
If we subtract 474 from 540, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
660 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12577.7468
Subtracting 632 from 660 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
79 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12577.74683
Subtracting 237 from 280 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 430 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12577.746835
Subtracting 395 from 430 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
350 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12577.7468354
Subtract 316 from 350 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
79 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12577.74683544
Subtract 316 from 340 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 12577.74683544 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
