We're dividing 156742 by 82 
We want to figure out the number of times 156742 can be divided by 82.

Going ahead to step 1:
82 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 82

Going ahead to step 2:
82 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 156 / 82

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 156 by 82, we get 1 and a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 82 away from 156, we end up with 74.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 747 / 82

Moving on to step 4:
The number 82 fits into 747 9 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
Deduct 738 from 747 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 94 / 82

On to step 5:
82 goes into 94 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 191.0
Deduct 82 from 94 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 122 / 82

Going ahead to step 6:
82 goes into 122 1 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1911.0
Deduct 82 from 122 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.

Step 7:
400 divided by 82 is 4 with a remainder of 72.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1911.4
If we take 328 away from 400, we end up with 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 8:
82 can be fit into 720 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1911.48
Subtracting 656 from 720 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
The number 82 fits into 640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1911.487
If we take 574 away from 640, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
82 goes into 660 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1911.4878
Subtract 656 from 660 to get 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 11:
40 divided by 82 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1911.4878
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
82 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 72.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1911.487804
If we subtract 328 from 400, 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 720 by 82, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1911.4878048
Deduct 656 from 720 and we're left 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.

Step 14:
82 goes into 640 7 times with a remainder of 66.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1911.48780487
If we subtract 574 from 640, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1911.48780487 with a balance of 6.6e-08.
