Let's divide 550494 by 79
We want to divide 550494 by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
79 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 55, we get 55.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 550 / 79

Step 3:
550 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 474 from 550, we get 76.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 76, then carry on: 764 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
79 goes into 764 9 times with a remainder of 53.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 711 from 764.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 539 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 539 by 79, we get 6 and a remainder of 65.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 696.0
If we subtract 474 from 539, we get 65.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 654 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
654 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6968.0
Subtracting 632 from 654 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
79 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 62.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6968.2
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 158 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 8:
79 goes into 620 7 times with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6968.27
Subtracting 553 from 620 leaves us with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
79 can be fit into 670 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6968.278
If we subtract 632 from 670, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
380 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6968.2784
Subtracting 316 from 380 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
79 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6968.27848
Deduct 632 from 640 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 80 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6968.278481
If we take 79 away from 80, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 13:
10 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6968.278481
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 100 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6968.27848101
Subtracting 79 from 100 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6968.27848101, and the remainder is 2.1e-08.
