We divide 218779 by 5
We want to figure out the number of times 218779 can be divided by 5.

On to step 1:
The number 5 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 5

On to step 2:
21 divided by 5 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 20 from 21 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 5

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 5 fits into 18 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43.0
Deduct 15 from 18 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 5

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 37 by 5, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 437.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 35 from 37.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 5

Advancing to step 5:
5 goes into 27 5 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4375.0
Deduct 25 from 27 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 5

Step 6:
When dividing 29 by 5, we get 5 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43755.0
Subtracting 25 from 29 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
40 divided by 5 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43755.8
If we take 40 away from 40, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
5 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43755.8
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
5 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43755.8
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 43755.8, and the remainder is 0.0.
