We're dividing 272258 by 79 
We're looking to find how many times 79 goes into 272258.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 272 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
272 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 237 from 272.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 352 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 352 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtracting 316 from 352 leaves us with 36.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 365 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
79 can be fit into 365 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 344.0
If we subtract 316 from 365, we get 49.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 498 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
498 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3446.0
Subtract 474 from 498 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.

On to step 7:
240 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3446.3
If we take 237 away from 240, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 30 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3446.3
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
300 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 63.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3446.303
If we subtract 237 from 300, we get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
79 can be fit into 630 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3446.3037
Deduct 553 from 630 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
79 can be fit into 770 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3446.30379
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 12:
79 can be fit into 590 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3446.303797
Subtracting 553 from 590 leaves us 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 13:
370 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 54.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3446.3037974
If we take 316 away from 370, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
79 goes into 540 6 times with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3446.30379746
Subtract 474 from 540 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3446.30379746 with a balance of 6.6e-08.
