We divide 279209 by 82
Let's see how many times 82 fits into 279209.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 82 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 / 82

Advancing to step 2:
The number 82 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 279 / 82

On to step 3:
82 can be fit into 279 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 246 from 279 to get 33.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 332 / 82

Step 4:
332 divided by 82 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 328 from 332.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 82

Going ahead to step 5:
40 divided by 82 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 340.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 409 / 82

Moving on to step 6:
82 can be fit into 409 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 81.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3404.0
If we subtract 328 from 409, we get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 810 by 82, we get 9 and a remainder of 72.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3404.9
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 738 from 810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 720 by 82, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3404.98
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 9:
When dividing 640 by 82, we get 7 with a remainder of 66.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3404.987
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 574 from 640.
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:
The number 82 fits into 660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3404.9878
Subtracting 656 from 660 leaves us with 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.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3404.9878
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
400 divided by 82 is 4 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3404.987804
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
82 can be fit into 720 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3404.9878048
If we subtract 656 from 720, we get 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 14:
When dividing 640 by 82, we get 7 with a remainder of 66.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3404.98780487
Subtract 574 from 640 to 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 3404.98780487 with a balance of 6.6e-08.
