We're dividing 551166 by 79 
Our goal is to divide 551166 by 79.

Going ahead to step 1:
79 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
79 can be fit into 55 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 55, we end up with 55.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 551 / 79

On to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 551 6 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 474 from 551.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 77, then repeat: 771 / 79

Let's proceed to step 4:
79 can be fit into 771 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 69.0
Deduct 711 from 771 and we're left with 60.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 606 / 79

On to step 5:
79 can be fit into 606 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 697.0
Subtracting 553 from 606 leaves us with 53.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 536 / 79

On to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 536 6 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6976.0
If we take 474 away from 536, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 620 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 67.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6976.7
If we subtract 553 from 620, we get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
670 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6976.78
If we subtract 632 from 670, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 9:
79 goes into 380 4 times with a remainder of 64.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6976.784
Subtracting 316 from 380 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 640 by 79, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6976.7848
Subtracting 632 from 640 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 80 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6976.78481
Subtracting 79 from 80 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
79 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6976.78481
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6976.7848101
If we take 79 away from 100, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
210 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6976.78481012
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 158 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6976.78481012 with a remaining 5.2e-08.
