Let's divide 47269 by 79
We're looking to find how many times 79 goes into 47269.

Step 1:
The number 79 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 472 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
79 can be fit into 472 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 395 from 472, we get 77.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 77 and continue: 776 / 79

Step 4:
79 can be fit into 776 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 711 from 776.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 659 / 79

On to step 5:
659 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 598.0
If we subtract 632 from 659, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 598.3
If we take 237 away from 270, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
79 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 598.34
Deduct 316 from 330 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
140 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 61.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 598.341
If we subtract 79 from 140, we get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 610 by 79, we get 7 and a remainder of 57.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 598.3417
Subtract 553 from 610 to get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 79 fits into 570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 598.34177
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 553 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Our division results in 598.34177 with a remaining 1.7e-05.
