We're dividing 290874 by 82 
We want to figure out the number of times 290874 can be divided by 82.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 82 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 82

Advancing to step 2:
The number 82 fits into 29 0 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 290 / 82

On to step 3:
82 can be fit into 290 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 246 from 290 leaves us with 44.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 448 / 82

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 448 by 82, we get 5 and a remainder of 38.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 410 from 448 and we're left with 38.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 387 / 82

Advancing to step 5:
The number 82 fits into 387 4 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 354.0
Subtract 328 from 387 to get 59.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 594 / 82

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 594 by 82, we get 7 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3547.0
If we subtract 574 from 594, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 200 by 82, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3547.2
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 164 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 360 by 82, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3547.24
Subtracting 328 from 360 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
82 goes into 320 3 times with a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3547.243
Deduct 246 from 320 and we're left with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 740 by 82, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3547.2439
If we take 738 away from 740, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
20 divided by 82 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3547.2439
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 200 by 82, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3547.243902
Subtracting 164 from 200 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 360 by 82, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3547.2439024
If we subtract 328 from 360, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
320 divided by 82 is 3 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3547.24390243
If we subtract 246 from 320, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3547.24390243, with a leftover of 7.4e-08.
