Let's divide 82879846 by 256
We want to figure out the number of times 82879846 can be divided by 256.

Advancing to step 1:
8 divided by 256 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 82 / 256

On to step 2:
The number 256 fits into 82 0 times, leaving 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.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 82, then repeat: 828 / 256

On to step 3:
828 divided by 256 is 3 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 768 from 828.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 607 / 256

On to step 4:
When dividing 607 by 256, we get 2 with a remainder of 95.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 512 from 607, we get 95.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 95 and continue: 959 / 256

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 959 by 256, we get 3 with a remainder of 191.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 323.0
If we subtract 768 from 959, we get 191.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 191, then repeat: 1918 / 256

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 256 fits into 1918 7 times, leaving a remainder of 126.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3237.0
Deduct 1792 from 1918 and we're left with 126.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 126 and continue with: 1264 / 256

On to step 7:
256 goes into 1264 4 times with a remainder of 240.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 32374.0
Subtract 1024 from 1264 to get 240.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 240 and continue: 2406 / 256

Step 8:
256 goes into 2406 9 times with a remainder of 102.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 323749.0
If we take 2304 away from 2406, we end up with 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Step 9:
256 can be fit into 1020 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 252.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 323749.3
Subtract 768 from 1020 to get 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
2520 divided by 256 is 9 with a remainder of 216.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 323749.39
Deduct 2304 from 2520 and we're left with 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
256 can be fit into 2160 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 112.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 323749.398
Subtracting 2048 from 2160 leaves us with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 1120 by 256, we get 4 and a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 323749.3984
Deduct 1024 from 1120 and we're left with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
256 goes into 960 3 times with a remainder of 192.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 323749.39843
Subtracting 768 from 960 leaves us with 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
1920 divided by 256 is 7 with a remainder of 128.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 323749.398437
If we take 1792 away from 1920, we end up with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
1280 divided by 256 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 323749.3984375
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 1280 from 1280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 256 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 323749.3984375
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 323749.3984375 and a remainder of 0.0.
