We look at the division of 578982 by 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 578982 can be divided by 79.

Advancing to step 1:
79 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 57 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
79 can be fit into 57 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 57 to get 57.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 578 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 578 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 553 away from 578, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 259 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
79 can be fit into 259 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 73.0
Subtract 237 from 259 to get 22.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 228 / 79

Advancing to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 228 2 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 732.0
Subtracting 158 from 228 leaves us with 70.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 702 / 79

Step 6:
When dividing 702 by 79, we get 8 with a remainder of 70.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7328.0
If we subtract 632 from 702, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
79 can be fit into 700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7328.8
If we subtract 632 from 700, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 79 fits into 680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7328.88
If we subtract 632 from 680, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7328.88, and the remainder is 0.048.
