We look at the division of 177642 by 79 
Our goal is to divide 177642 by 79.

On to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 177 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
177 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 158 away from 177, we end up with 19.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 196 / 79

On to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 196 2 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 158 from 196 to get 38.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 384 / 79

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 384 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 224.0
If we take 316 away from 384, we end up with 68.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 68, then repeat: 682 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 682 by 79, we get 8 with a remainder of 50.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2248.0
If we subtract 632 from 682, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 7:
79 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2248.6
If we subtract 474 from 500, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 260 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 23.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2248.63
Deduct 237 from 260 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 79 fits into 230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2248.632
Subtract 158 from 230 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 720 by 79, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2248.6329
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 90 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2248.63291
Subtracting 79 from 90 leaves us with 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 12:
79 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2248.632911
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 2248.632911 and a remainder of 3.1e-06.
