Let's divide 27880 by 79
We want to figure out the number of times 27880 can be divided by 79.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 278 3 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 237 from 278 and we're left with 41.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 418 / 79

Moving on to step 4:
79 goes into 418 5 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtracting 395 from 418 leaves us with 23.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 230 / 79

Step 5:
The number 79 fits into 230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 352.0
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 6:
720 divided by 79 is 9 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 352.9
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 711 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 352.91
If we subtract 79 from 90, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
79 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 352.911
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 79 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 352.911 and a remainder of 0.0031.
