218217 ÷ 79 
We want to divide 218217 by 79.

Advancing to step 1:
79 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 79

On to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 79

Moving on to step 3:
79 can be fit into 218 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 158 away from 218, we end up with 60.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 60, then repeat: 602 / 79

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 602 7 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 553 from 602 to get 49.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 491 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
79 can be fit into 491 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 276.0
If we take 474 away from 491, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 177 / 79

Going ahead to step 6:
79 can be fit into 177 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2762.0
If we take 158 away from 177, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
190 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2762.2
If we take 158 away from 190, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 8:
320 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2762.24
Deduct 316 from 320 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
79 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2762.24
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 79, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2762.2405
If we subtract 395 from 400, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 50 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2762.2405
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 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 12:
When dividing 500 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 26.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2762.240506
If we take 474 away from 500, we end up with 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 13:
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: 2762.2405063
Subtracting 237 from 260 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 230 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2762.24050632
Deduct 158 from 230 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2762.24050632 with a remaining 7.2e-08.
