We're dividing 288701 by 79 
Let's see how many times 79 fits into 288701.

On to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 288 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
79 goes into 288 3 times with a remainder of 51.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 237 from 288 to get 51.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 517 / 79

On to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 517 6 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we take 474 away from 517, we end up with 43.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 430 / 79

Step 5:
The number 79 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 365.0
Subtracting 395 from 430 leaves us with 35.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 351 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
351 divided by 79 is 4 with a remainder of 35.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3654.0
If we take 316 away from 351, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 350 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3654.4
Subtract 316 from 350 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
79 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3654.44
Deduct 316 from 340 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 3654.44 with a remainder of 0.024.
