We look at the division of 971608 by 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 971608 can be divided by 79.

Step 1:
9 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 79

On to step 2:
79 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 79 from 97 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 181 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
181 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 23.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 158 from 181 leaves us with 23.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 236 / 79

On to step 4:
79 can be fit into 236 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
Subtracting 158 from 236 leaves us with 78.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 78, then repeat: 780 / 79

Step 5:
79 can be fit into 780 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1229.0
Deduct 711 from 780 and we're left with 69.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 698 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
79 goes into 698 8 times with a remainder of 66.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12298.0
Subtract 632 from 698 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 660 by 79, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12298.8
Subtracting 632 from 660 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
79 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12298.83
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 237 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 430 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12298.835
Subtract 395 from 430 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
79 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12298.8354
Subtracting 316 from 350 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
79 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12298.83544
Subtract 316 from 340 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12298.83544 with a balance of 2.4e-05.
