Let's divide 872824 by 79
We want to figure out the number of times 872824 can be divided by 79.

On to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 79

Step 2:
79 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 79 from 87 to get 8.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 82 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
79 goes into 82 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 79 away from 82, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
79 can be fit into 38 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 110.0
If we subtract 0 from 38, we get 38.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 382 / 79

Step 5:
79 goes into 382 4 times with a remainder of 66.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1104.0
Deduct 316 from 382 and we're left with 66.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 664 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
79 can be fit into 664 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11048.0
Deduct 632 from 664 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 79 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11048.4
Subtracting 316 from 320 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.

On to step 8:
40 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11048.4
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 400 by 79, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11048.405
Deduct 395 from 400 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
50 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11048.405
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
500 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11048.40506
Deduct 474 from 500 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 260 by 79, we get 3 with a remainder of 23.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11048.405063
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 237 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
79 goes into 230 2 times with a remainder of 72.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11048.4050632
Subtracting 158 from 230 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
79 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11048.40506329
If we subtract 711 from 720, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11048.40506329, with a leftover of 9e-09.
