We divide 317437 by 79
Our goal is to divide 317437 by 79.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 79

On to step 2:
When dividing 31 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 317 / 79

Step 3:
When dividing 317 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 316 from 317, we get 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 79

Step 4:
14 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 143 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
79 can be fit into 143 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 401.0
If we subtract 79 from 143, we get 64.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 647 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 647 by 79, we get 8 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4018.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 632 from 647.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
79 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 71.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4018.1
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 8:
710 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 78.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4018.18
Subtracting 632 from 710 leaves us 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 9:
When dividing 780 by 79, we get 9 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4018.189
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 711 from 780.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
690 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 58.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4018.1898
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.

Moving on to step 11:
79 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4018.18987
Subtracting 553 from 580 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
The number 79 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4018.189873
Deduct 237 from 270 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
79 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4018.1898734
Subtracting 316 from 330 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 140 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 61.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4018.18987341
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 79 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4018.18987341 with a remaining 6.1e-08.
