230993 ÷ 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 230993 can be divided by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
79 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 79

On to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 230 / 79

Step 3:
230 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 158 from 230, we get 72.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 729 / 79

Step 4:
The number 79 fits into 729 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 711 from 729 leaves us with 18.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 189 / 79

On to step 5:
79 can be fit into 189 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 292.0
If we subtract 158 from 189, we get 31.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 313 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
79 can be fit into 313 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2923.0
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 237 from 313.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 760 by 79, we get 9 and a remainder of 49.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2923.9
Subtract 711 from 760 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
79 can be fit into 490 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2923.96
Subtract 474 from 490 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2923.962
Subtracting 158 from 160 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 79 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2923.962
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
79 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2923.96202
If we take 158 away from 200, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 79 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2923.962025
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 395 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
250 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2923.9620253
Deduct 237 from 250 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
79 goes into 130 1 times with a remainder of 51.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2923.96202531
If we subtract 79 from 130, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2923.96202531 with a remaining 5.1e-08.
