82977459 ÷ 480 
We're looking to find how many times 480 goes into 82977459.

Step 1:
480 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 82 / 480

Advancing to step 2:
480 goes into 82 0 times with a remainder of 82.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 82, we end up with 82.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 82 and continue: 829 / 480

On to step 3:
The number 480 fits into 829 1 times, leaving a remainder of 349.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 480 from 829 leaves us with 349.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 349 and continue: 3497 / 480

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 3497 by 480, we get 7 and a remainder of 137.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 3360 away from 3497, we end up with 137.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 137, then repeat: 1377 / 480

Let's proceed to step 5:
480 goes into 1377 2 times with a remainder of 417.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 172.0
If we take 960 away from 1377, we end up with 417.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 417, then repeat: 4174 / 480

On to step 6:
4174 divided by 480 is 8 with a remainder of 334.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1728.0
Subtract 3840 from 4174 to get 334.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 334 and continue with: 3345 / 480

Moving on to step 7:
3345 divided by 480 is 6 with a remainder of 465.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17286.0
Subtract 2880 from 3345 to get 465.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 465, then carry on: 4659 / 480

Advancing to step 8:
The number 480 fits into 4659 9 times, leaving a remainder of 339.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 172869.0
The remainder is 339 after subtracting 4320 from 4659.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3390, and continue the process.

Step 9:
480 can be fit into 3390 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 172869.7
Subtracting 3360 from 3390 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 480, we get 0 and a remainder of 300.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 172869.7
Subtract 0 from 300 to get 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 3000 by 480, we get 6 with a remainder of 120.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 172869.706
Deduct 2880 from 3000 and we're left with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
480 goes into 1200 2 times with a remainder of 240.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 172869.7062
If we subtract 960 from 1200, we get 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 480 fits into 2400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 172869.70625
If we take 2400 away from 2400, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 0 by 480, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 172869.70625
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 0 by 480, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 172869.70625
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 172869.70625 with a balance of 0.0.
