294987 ÷ 79 
We want to divide 294987 by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
79 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 294 / 79

On to step 3:
79 goes into 294 3 times with a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 237 from 294 and we're left with 57.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 579 / 79

Step 4:
79 goes into 579 7 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we subtract 553 from 579, we get 26.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 268 / 79

On to step 5:
268 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 31.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 373.0
Deduct 237 from 268 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 317 / 79

Going ahead to step 6:
317 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3734.0
If we take 316 away from 317, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3734.0
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3734.01
If we subtract 79 from 100, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
79 goes into 210 2 times with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3734.012
If we take 158 away from 210, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 520 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3734.0126
Subtract 474 from 520 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
460 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 65.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3734.01265
If we take 395 away from 460, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 79 fits into 650 8 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3734.012658
Deduct 632 from 650 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 180 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3734.0126582
Subtract 158 from 180 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
79 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3734.01265822
If we subtract 158 from 220, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3734.01265822, and the remainder is 6.2e-08.
