We look at the division of 140248 by 79 
We're looking to find how many times 79 goes into 140248.

Going ahead to step 1:
79 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 79

Step 2:
When dividing 14 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 140 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 79 from 140, we get 61.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 612 / 79

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 612 7 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 553 from 612.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 594 / 79

On to step 5:
79 can be fit into 594 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 177.0
Subtract 553 from 594 to get 41.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 418 / 79

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 418 5 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1775.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 395 from 418.
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 7:
79 can be fit into 230 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1775.2
If we subtract 158 from 230, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
720 divided by 79 is 9 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1775.29
If we subtract 711 from 720, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 90 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1775.291
Deduct 79 from 90 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 10:
110 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1775.2911
Subtracting 79 from 110 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1775.2911 with a remaining 0.00031.
