Let's divide 8594 by 979
Our goal is to divide 8594 by 979.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 979, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 85 / 979

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 85 by 979, we get 0 with a remainder of 85.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 85, we get 85.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 85 and continue with: 859 / 979

Moving on to step 3:
859 divided by 979 is 0 with a remainder of 859.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 859 to get 859.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 859 and continue: 8594 / 979

On to step 4:
8594 divided by 979 is 8 with a remainder of 762.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 7832 from 8594 leaves us with 762.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 5:
979 can be fit into 7620 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 767.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.7
The remainder is 767 after subtracting 6853 from 7620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
The number 979 fits into 7670 7 times, leaving a remainder of 817.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8.77
Subtracting 6853 from 7670 leaves us with 817.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8170, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8.77 with a balance of 0.817.
