We're dividing 388951 by 79 
We want to divide 388951 by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
79 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 38 and we're left with 38.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 388 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
79 goes into 388 4 times with a remainder of 72.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 316 from 388 to get 72.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 729 / 79

Step 4:
If we divide 729 by 79, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 711 from 729 and we're left with 18.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 185 / 79

Step 5:
79 can be fit into 185 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 492.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 158 from 185.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 271 / 79

Going ahead to step 6:
79 can be fit into 271 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4923.0
Deduct 237 from 271 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 340 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4923.4
Subtracting 316 from 340 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 240 by 79, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4923.43
Subtracting 237 from 240 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 79 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4923.43
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
79 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 63.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4923.4303
If we take 237 away from 300, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 79 fits into 630 7 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4923.43037
Subtract 553 from 630 to get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
79 goes into 770 9 times with a remainder of 59.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4923.430379
If we subtract 711 from 770, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
79 can be fit into 590 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4923.4303797
If we subtract 553 from 590, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 370 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 54.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4923.43037974
Deduct 316 from 370 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4923.43037974 and a remainder of 5.4e-08.
