We divide 478723 by 82
We want to divide 478723 by 82.

Let's proceed to step 1:
82 goes into 4 0 times with 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.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 82

Going ahead to step 2:
82 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 478 / 82

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 478 by 82, we get 5 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 410 from 478 leaves us with 68.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 687 / 82

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 687 by 82, we get 8 and a remainder of 31.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 656 from 687.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 312 / 82

Moving on to step 5:
The number 82 fits into 312 3 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 583.0
Deduct 246 from 312 and we're left with 66.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 663 / 82

Advancing to step 6:
The number 82 fits into 663 8 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5838.0
If we subtract 656 from 663, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 82, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5838.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 0 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 700 by 82, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5838.08
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 656 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 440 by 82, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5838.085
Subtracting 410 from 440 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 82, we get 3 and a remainder of 54.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5838.0853
If we take 246 away from 300, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
540 divided by 82 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5838.08536
If we subtract 492 from 540, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 82 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5838.085365
If we subtract 410 from 480, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 700 by 82, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5838.0853658
Subtract 656 from 700 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
82 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5838.08536585
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 410 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5838.08536585, with a leftover of 3e-08.
