Let's divide 423281 by 79
Our goal is to divide 423281 by 79.

Advancing to step 1:
79 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
79 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 423 / 79

Step 3:
79 can be fit into 423 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 395 from 423.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 282 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 282 by 79, we get 3 with a remainder of 45.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtracting 237 from 282 leaves us with 45.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 458 / 79

Advancing to step 5:
79 goes into 458 5 times with a remainder of 63.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 535.0
Subtract 395 from 458 to get 63.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 631 / 79

Going ahead to step 6:
631 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 78.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5357.0
The remainder is 78 after subtracting 553 from 631.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 780 by 79, we get 9 with a remainder of 69.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5357.9
If we take 711 away from 780, we end up with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
79 goes into 690 8 times with a remainder of 58.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5357.98
Deduct 632 from 690 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
79 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5357.987
If we subtract 553 from 580, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
270 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5357.9873
If we subtract 237 from 270, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
79 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5357.98734
If we take 316 away from 330, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
79 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5357.987341
Deduct 79 from 140 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 610 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 57.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5357.9873417
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 79 fits into 570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5357.98734177
Subtract 553 from 570 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5357.98734177 and a remainder of 1.7e-08.
