We're dividing 179665 by 79 
We want to divide 179665 by 79.

Going ahead to step 1:
79 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
79 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 179 / 79

On to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 179 2 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 158 from 179, we get 21.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 216 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
The number 79 fits into 216 2 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 158 from 216 and we're left with 58.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 586 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
79 can be fit into 586 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 227.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 553 from 586.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 335 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
79 goes into 335 4 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2274.0
If we subtract 316 from 335, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
79 goes into 190 2 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2274.2
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 158 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 320 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2274.24
If we take 316 away from 320, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 79 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2274.24
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 79, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2274.2405
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 395 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 50 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2274.2405
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
79 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2274.240506
Subtracting 474 from 500 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
79 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2274.2405063
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 237 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 230 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2274.24050632
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.

Our division results in 2274.24050632 with a remaining 7.2e-08.
