We look at the division of 284742 by 82 
We want to figure out the number of times 284742 can be divided by 82.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 82 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 82

Step 2:
82 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 284 / 82

On to step 3:
82 goes into 284 3 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 246 from 284 and we're left with 38.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 387 / 82

Step 4:
When dividing 387 by 82, we get 4 with a remainder of 59.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we subtract 328 from 387, we get 59.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 594 / 82

On to step 5:
The number 82 fits into 594 7 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 347.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 574 from 594.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 202 / 82

Advancing to step 6:
82 goes into 202 2 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3472.0
Subtract 164 from 202 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
380 divided by 82 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3472.4
Subtracting 328 from 380 leaves us 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 8:
The number 82 fits into 520 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3472.46
Deduct 492 from 520 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 280 by 82, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3472.463
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 246 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
82 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3472.4634
If we subtract 328 from 340, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
82 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3472.46341
Deduct 82 from 120 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 380 by 82, we get 4 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3472.463414
If we subtract 328 from 380, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 520 by 82, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3472.4634146
Subtract 492 from 520 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
82 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3472.46341463
Subtracting 246 from 280 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3472.46341463 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
