We look at the division of 872408 by 82 
We want to figure out the number of times 872408 can be divided by 82.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 82 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 82

Advancing to step 2:
82 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 82 from 87.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 82

Advancing to step 3:
82 goes into 52 0 times with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 0 from 52.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 524 / 82

On to step 4:
The number 82 fits into 524 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 106.0
If we take 492 away from 524, we end up with 32.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 320 / 82

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 320 by 82, we get 3 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1063.0
Deduct 246 from 320 and we're left with 74.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 748 / 82

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 748 by 82, we get 9 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 10639.0
Subtracting 738 from 748 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
100 divided by 82 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10639.1
Deduct 82 from 100 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 8:
180 divided by 82 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10639.12
Subtracting 164 from 180 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 82, we get 1 with a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10639.121
Subtracting 82 from 160 leaves us with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 780 by 82, we get 9 and a remainder of 42.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10639.1219
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 738 from 780.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
420 divided by 82 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10639.12195
If we take 410 away from 420, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 82 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10639.121951
Deduct 82 from 100 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 180 by 82, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10639.1219512
Deduct 164 from 180 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
160 divided by 82 is 1 with a remainder of 78.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10639.12195121
If we take 82 away from 160, we end up with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10639.12195121 with a balance of 7.8e-08.
