We're dividing 518423 by 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 518423 can be divided by 79.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 79

On to step 2:
If we divide 51 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 51.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 51 and we're left with 51.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 518 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
79 can be fit into 518 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 474 from 518, we get 44.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 444 / 79

Step 4:
When dividing 444 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 49.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 65.0
If we subtract 395 from 444, we get 49.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 492 / 79

Let's proceed to step 5:
79 goes into 492 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 656.0
Subtract 474 from 492 to get 18.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 183 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
79 can be fit into 183 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6562.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 158 from 183.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 250 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6562.3
Deduct 237 from 250 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
130 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 51.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6562.31
If we take 79 away from 130, 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 9:
When dividing 510 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6562.316
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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 360 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6562.3164
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 316 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 440 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6562.31645
Subtract 395 from 440 to get 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 12:
79 goes into 450 5 times with a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6562.316455
If we take 395 away from 450, we end up 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.

The final result is 6562.316455 with a remainder of 5.5e-06.
