We're dividing 426494 by 79 
Our goal is to divide 426494 by 79.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 79

Step 2:
The number 79 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 426 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 426 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 395 from 426 to get 31.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 314 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 314 by 79, we get 3 with a remainder of 77.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we subtract 237 from 314, we get 77.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 77, then repeat: 779 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
79 goes into 779 9 times with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 539.0
Subtract 711 from 779 to get 68.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 684 / 79

On to step 6:
79 can be fit into 684 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5398.0
If we take 632 away from 684, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 520 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 46.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5398.6
If we take 474 away from 520, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 460 by 79, we get 5 and a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5398.65
If we take 395 away from 460, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
79 goes into 650 8 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5398.658
Deduct 632 from 650 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
79 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5398.6582
If we take 158 away from 180, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 220 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5398.65822
If we take 158 away from 220, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5398.65822 with a remaining 6.2e-05.
