We're dividing 982042 by 79 
We want to divide 982042 by 79.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 79 away from 98, we end up with 19.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 192 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
79 can be fit into 192 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 158 from 192 and we're left with 34.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 340 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
79 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 124.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 316 from 340.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 244 / 79

On to step 5:
If we divide 244 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1243.0
Subtract 237 from 244 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 72 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12430.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 7:
79 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12430.9
Subtracting 711 from 720 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 90 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12430.91
Subtract 79 from 90 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 110 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12430.911
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 79 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12430.911 and a remainder of 0.0031.
