115878 ÷ 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 115878 can be divided by 79.

On to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
79 can be fit into 11 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 115 / 79

Step 3:
115 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 36.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 79 from 115 and we're left with 36.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 368 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 368 by 79, we get 4 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 316 from 368 leaves us with 52.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 52, then repeat: 527 / 79

Step 5:
527 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 53.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 146.0
If we take 474 away from 527, we end up with 53.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 538 / 79

On to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 538 6 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1466.0
If we take 474 away from 538, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
79 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1466.8
Subtracting 632 from 640 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
79 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1466.81
If we subtract 79 from 80, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
79 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1466.81
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1466.8101
Subtracting 79 from 100 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 210 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1466.81012
Deduct 158 from 210 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
79 can be fit into 520 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1466.810126
Subtract 474 from 520 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 13:
460 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1466.8101265
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 395 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
650 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 18.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1466.81012658
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 632 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1466.81012658 with a remaining 1.8e-08.
