298617 ÷ 79 
Our goal is to divide 298617 by 79.

On to step 1:
79 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
29 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 79

Step 3:
79 goes into 298 3 times with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 237 from 298 and we're left with 61.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 616 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
79 can be fit into 616 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 553 from 616.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 631 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
631 divided by 79 is 7 with a remainder of 78.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 377.0
If we subtract 553 from 631, we get 78.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 78 and continue with: 787 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
79 goes into 787 9 times with a remainder of 76.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3779.0
Subtracting 711 from 787 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
79 goes into 760 9 times with a remainder of 49.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3779.9
Subtracting 711 from 760 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
79 goes into 490 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3779.96
Deduct 474 from 490 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 160 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3779.962
If we subtract 158 from 160, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
20 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3779.962
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 42.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3779.96202
Subtract 158 from 200 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 79 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3779.962025
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 395 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 250 by 79, we get 3 with a remainder of 13.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3779.9620253
Subtract 237 from 250 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 130 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3779.96202531
If we subtract 79 from 130, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3779.96202531 with a remaining 5.1e-08.
