74969 ÷ 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 74969 can be divided by 79.

Step 1:
79 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
79 can be fit into 74 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 74, we get 74.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 749 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 749 by 79, we get 9 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 711 away from 749, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 386 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
386 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 94.0
Deduct 316 from 386 and we're left with 70.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 709 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
79 goes into 709 8 times with a remainder of 77.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 948.0
Subtract 632 from 709 to get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 770 9 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 948.9
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.

Advancing to step 7:
590 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 948.97
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 553 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 370 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 948.974
Subtracting 316 from 370 leaves us 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 9:
79 can be fit into 540 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 948.9746
Deduct 474 from 540 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 79 fits into 660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 948.97468
If we subtract 632 from 660, we 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 280 by 79, we get 3 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 948.974683
Subtract 237 from 280 to get 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.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 948.9746835
Deduct 395 from 430 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
79 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 948.97468354
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 316 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Our division results in 948.97468354 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
