Let's divide 27234 by 79
We want to figure out the number of times 27234 can be divided by 79.

Step 1:
2 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
79 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 272 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 272 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 237 from 272, we get 35.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 353 / 79

Step 4:
The number 79 fits into 353 4 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 316 from 353.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 374 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 374 4 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 344.0
Subtract 316 from 374 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
79 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 344.7
If we take 553 away from 580, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 344.73
Deduct 237 from 270 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
79 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 344.734
Deduct 316 from 330 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
79 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 344.7341
If we take 79 away from 140, we end up with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
79 goes into 610 7 times with a remainder of 57.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 344.73417
If we take 553 away from 610, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 79 fits into 570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 344.734177
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 553 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The final result is 344.734177 with a remainder of 1.7e-06.
