We're dividing 996819 by 79 
We want to divide 996819 by 79.

Moving on to step 1:
9 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 79

Step 2:
79 can be fit into 99 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 79 from 99 leaves us with 20.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 206 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 206 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 158 from 206 to get 48.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 488 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
79 can be fit into 488 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 126.0
If we take 474 away from 488, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 141 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
79 can be fit into 141 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1261.0
Subtract 79 from 141 to get 62.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 629 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 629 by 79, we get 7 with a remainder of 76.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12617.0
If we take 553 away from 629, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
79 goes into 760 9 times with a remainder of 49.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12617.9
Subtracting 711 from 760 leaves us with 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 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12617.96
Deduct 474 from 490 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 79 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12617.962
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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 79 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12617.962
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.

Moving on to step 11:
79 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12617.96202
Subtract 158 from 200 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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 420 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12617.962025
Deduct 395 from 420 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
250 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12617.9620253
Subtracting 237 from 250 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 130 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 51.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12617.96202531
Subtract 79 from 130 to 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.

The final outcome is 12617.96202531, with a leftover of 5.1e-08.
