Let's divide 872178 by 79
We want to divide 872178 by 79.

Advancing to step 1:
79 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 79 from 87 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 82 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 82 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 79 from 82, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
79 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 110.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 317 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
79 can be fit into 317 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1104.0
If we take 316 away from 317, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11040.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11040.2
If we take 158 away from 180, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11040.22
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 158 from 220.
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 11040.22, and the remainder is 0.062.
