1178974 divided by 979 
We're looking to find how many times 979 goes into 1178974.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 979 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 979

Going ahead to step 2:
979 goes into 11 0 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 117 / 979

Moving on to step 3:
979 goes into 117 0 times with a remainder of 117.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 117 after subtracting 0 from 117.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 117, then carry on: 1178 / 979

Moving on to step 4:
1178 divided by 979 is 1 with a remainder of 199.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 979 away from 1178, we end up with 199.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 199 and continue with: 1999 / 979

Let's proceed to step 5:
979 goes into 1999 2 times with a remainder of 41.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 1958 from 1999.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 417 / 979

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 417 by 979, we get 0 and a remainder of 417.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 120.0
Deduct 0 from 417 and we're left with 417.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 417 and continue: 4174 / 979

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 4174 by 979, we get 4 with a remainder of 258.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1204.0
If we subtract 3916 from 4174, we get 258.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 979 fits into 2580 2 times, leaving a remainder of 622.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1204.2
If we take 1958 away from 2580, we end up with 622.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6220, and continue the process.

Step 9:
6220 divided by 979 is 6 with a remainder of 346.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1204.26
Deduct 5874 from 6220 and we're left with 346.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 3460 by 979, we get 3 and a remainder of 523.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1204.263
Subtracting 2937 from 3460 leaves us with 523.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5230, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 5230 by 979, we get 5 with a remainder of 335.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1204.2635
The remainder is 335 after subtracting 4895 from 5230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
979 goes into 3350 3 times with a remainder of 413.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1204.26353
If we take 2937 away from 3350, we end up with 413.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4130, and continue the process.

Step 13:
979 goes into 4130 4 times with a remainder of 214.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1204.263534
If we take 3916 away from 4130, we end up with 214.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
979 goes into 2140 2 times with a remainder of 182.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1204.2635342
Deduct 1958 from 2140 and we're left with 182.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1820, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
979 goes into 1820 1 times with a remainder of 841.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1204.26353421
The remainder is 841 after subtracting 979 from 1820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8410, and continue the process.

The final result is 1204.26353421 with a remainder of 8.41e-07.
