Let's divide 425873 by 79
Our goal is to divide 425873 by 79.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 79

On to step 2:
42 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 425 / 79

Step 3:
If we divide 425 by 79, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 395 away from 425, we end up with 30.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 308 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 308 by 79, we get 3 with a remainder of 71.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtract 237 from 308 to get 71.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 717 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
79 goes into 717 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 539.0
If we take 711 away from 717, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 63 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
79 can be fit into 63 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5390.0
Subtracting 0 from 63 leaves us with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 630 by 79, we get 7 with a remainder of 77.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5390.7
Subtracting 553 from 630 leaves us with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
79 goes into 770 9 times with a remainder of 59.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5390.79
Subtract 711 from 770 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
590 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5390.797
Deduct 553 from 590 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 79 fits into 370 4 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5390.7974
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 540 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 66.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5390.79746
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.

Advancing to step 12:
79 goes into 660 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5390.797468
Subtract 632 from 660 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 280 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5390.7974683
If we take 237 away from 280, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 14:
430 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5390.79746835
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5390.79746835 with a balance of 3.5e-08.
