We divide 262402 by 79
We want to divide 262402 by 79.

On to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 2 0 times, leaving 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.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 262 / 79

Let's proceed to step 3:
262 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 237 from 262 to get 25.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 254 / 79

Step 4:
If we divide 254 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 237 from 254.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 170 / 79

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 332.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 158 from 170.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 122 / 79

Step 6:
122 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 43.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3321.0
Subtracting 79 from 122 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 7:
430 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3321.5
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 395 from 430.
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 8:
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: 3321.54
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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 340 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3321.544
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.

Our division results in 3321.544 with a remaining 0.0024.
