Let's divide 55904 by 79
Let's see how many times 79 fits into 55904.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 55 leaves us with 55.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 559 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
79 can be fit into 559 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 553 from 559 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 60 / 79

On to step 4:
When dividing 60 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 604 / 79

On to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 604 7 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 707.0
If we take 553 away from 604, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
79 can be fit into 510 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 707.6
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 474 from 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
360 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 707.64
If we subtract 316 from 360, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 79 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 707.645
Subtracting 395 from 440 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 450 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 707.6455
Subtracting 395 from 450 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 707.6455 with a balance of 0.00055.
