We divide 48217 by 79
We want to figure out the number of times 48217 can be divided by 79.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 482 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 482 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 474 from 482.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 81 / 79

On to step 4:
79 can be fit into 81 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we take 79 away from 81, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 79

Step 5:
79 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 610.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 270 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 33.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 610.3
Subtracting 237 from 270 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 330 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 610.34
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 316 from 330.
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 8:
79 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 610.341
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 79 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 79 fits into 610 7 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 610.3417
If we subtract 553 from 610, we get 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 10:
79 can be fit into 570 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 610.34177
Subtracting 553 from 570 leaves us with 17.
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 610.34177 with a remainder of 1.7e-05.
