116883 divided by 79 
We want to divide 116883 by 79.

Going ahead to step 1:
79 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 79

On to step 2:
11 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 116 / 79

Step 3:
When dividing 116 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 79 from 116 and we're left with 37.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 378 / 79

Step 4:
378 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 316 from 378, we get 62.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 628 / 79

On to step 5:
79 goes into 628 7 times with a remainder of 75.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 147.0
Subtracting 553 from 628 leaves us with 75.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 75 and continue: 753 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 753 by 79, we get 9 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1479.0
If we take 711 away from 753, we end up with 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 7:
79 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1479.5
If we take 395 away from 420, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
250 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1479.53
Subtracting 237 from 250 leaves us with 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 9:
The number 79 fits into 130 1 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1479.531
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.

Step 10:
79 can be fit into 510 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1479.5316
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 474 from 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 360 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1479.53164
Deduct 316 from 360 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
79 goes into 440 5 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1479.531645
If we subtract 395 from 440, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
79 can be fit into 450 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1479.5316455
Subtract 395 from 450 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

The final result is 1479.5316455 with a remainder of 5.5e-07.
