We're dividing 872508 by 79 
Our goal is to divide 872508 by 79.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 8 0 times, leaving 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.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 79

On to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 79 from 87 to get 8.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 82 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
79 goes into 82 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 79 from 82, we get 3.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 35 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 35 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 35.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 110.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 0 from 35.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 350 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 350 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1104.0
If we take 316 away from 350, we end up with 34.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 348 / 79

Step 6:
348 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11044.0
If we subtract 316 from 348, we get 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 7:
79 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11044.4
If we take 316 away from 320, we end up 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 8:
If we divide 40 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11044.4
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 9:
400 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11044.405
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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 79 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11044.405
If we subtract 0 from 50, 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 500 by 79, we get 6 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11044.40506
Deduct 474 from 500 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
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: 11044.405063
If we take 237 away from 260, we end up 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 13:
If we divide 230 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11044.4050632
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.

On to step 14:
The number 79 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11044.40506329
Deduct 711 from 720 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 11044.40506329, with a leftover of 9e-09.
