Let's divide 588879 by 82
Our goal is to divide 588879 by 82.

On to step 1:
82 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 82

Moving on to step 2:
The number 82 fits into 58 0 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 58 to get 58.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 588 / 82

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 588 by 82, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 574 from 588 and we're left with 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 82

Going ahead to step 4:
148 divided by 82 is 1 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 82 from 148.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 667 / 82

Moving on to step 5:
The number 82 fits into 667 8 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 718.0
Subtract 656 from 667 to get 11.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 119 / 82

Going ahead to step 6:
82 can be fit into 119 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7181.0
Subtract 82 from 119 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 370 by 82, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7181.4
If we take 328 away from 370, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 82 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7181.45
Subtracting 410 from 420 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.

On to step 9:
82 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7181.451
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.

On to step 10:
The number 82 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7181.4512
If we take 164 away from 180, we end up 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.

Step 11:
82 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7181.45121
If we subtract 82 from 160, we get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Step 12:
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: 7181.451219
If we subtract 738 from 780, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 82 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7181.4512195
If we subtract 410 from 420, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
82 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7181.45121951
If we take 82 away from 100, we end up 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.

The final result is 7181.45121951 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
