Let's divide 120724 by 79
We want to divide 120724 by 79.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 12 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 120 / 79

On to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 79 from 120, we get 41.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 417 / 79

On to step 4:
79 can be fit into 417 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 395 from 417, we get 22.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 222 / 79

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 222 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 152.0
Subtract 158 from 222 to get 64.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 644 / 79

Going ahead to step 6:
79 can be fit into 644 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1528.0
If we subtract 632 from 644, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1528.1
Subtract 79 from 120 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
410 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1528.15
Subtract 395 from 410 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
79 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 71.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1528.151
If we subtract 79 from 150, we get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 79 fits into 710 8 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1528.1518
If we take 632 away from 710, we end up with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Step 11:
780 divided by 79 is 9 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1528.15189
Subtract 711 from 780 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
690 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 58.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1528.151898
Deduct 632 from 690 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 580 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1528.1518987
Deduct 553 from 580 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 270 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 33.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1528.15189873
Subtract 237 from 270 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1528.15189873, and the remainder is 3.3e-08.
