Let's divide 517281 by 79
Our goal is to divide 517281 by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
79 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
79 can be fit into 51 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 51 leaves us with 51.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 517 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 517 6 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 474 from 517, we get 43.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 432 / 79

On to step 4:
If we divide 432 by 79, we get 5 and a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 65.0
Deduct 395 from 432 and we're left with 37.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 378 / 79

Let's proceed to step 5:
378 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 62.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 654.0
Deduct 316 from 378 and we're left with 62.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 62 and repeat the process: 621 / 79

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 621 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6547.0
Deduct 553 from 621 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 680 by 79, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6547.8
If we take 632 away from 680, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 79 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6547.86
If we subtract 474 from 480, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 60 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6547.86
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 600 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 47.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6547.8607
If we subtract 553 from 600, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 11:
79 can be fit into 470 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6547.86075
Subtract 395 from 470 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 79 fits into 750 9 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6547.860759
Subtract 711 from 750 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 79 fits into 390 4 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6547.8607594
Subtract 316 from 390 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 740 by 79, we get 9 and a remainder of 29.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6547.86075949
If we subtract 711 from 740, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6547.86075949 with a balance of 2.9e-08.
