Let's divide 479974 by 79
We want to divide 479974 by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
79 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 479 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 479 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 474 away from 479, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 59 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 59.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtracting 0 from 59 leaves us with 59.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 59 and repeat the process: 597 / 79

On to step 5:
If we divide 597 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 607.0
Deduct 553 from 597 and we're left with 44.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 444 / 79

On to step 6:
444 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6075.0
If we subtract 395 from 444, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 490 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6075.6
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 474 from 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
79 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6075.62
If we subtract 158 from 160, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 20 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6075.62
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
200 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6075.6202
Deduct 158 from 200 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
79 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6075.62025
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 395 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 250 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 13.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6075.620253
If we subtract 237 from 250, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
79 goes into 130 1 times with a remainder of 51.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6075.6202531
Subtracting 79 from 130 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
79 can be fit into 510 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6075.62025316
Subtract 474 from 510 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final result is 6075.62025316 with a remainder of 3.6e-08.
