We're dividing 299879 by 82 
We're looking to find how many times 82 goes into 299879.

Advancing to step 1:
82 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 82

Moving on to step 2:
82 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 299 / 82

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 299 by 82, we get 3 and a remainder of 53.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 246 from 299 and we're left with 53.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 538 / 82

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 538 by 82, we get 6 and a remainder of 46.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtracting 492 from 538 leaves us with 46.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 467 / 82

Let's proceed to step 5:
467 divided by 82 is 5 with a remainder of 57.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 365.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 410 from 467.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 579 / 82

Going ahead to step 6:
82 can be fit into 579 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3657.0
Deduct 574 from 579 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 82, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3657.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 82 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3657.06
If we subtract 492 from 500, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 82 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3657.06
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 82 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3657.0609
Subtract 738 from 800 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 620 by 82, we get 7 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3657.06097
Deduct 574 from 620 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
460 divided by 82 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3657.060975
Subtract 410 from 460 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 500 by 82, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3657.0609756
Subtracting 492 from 500 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 80 by 82, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3657.0609756
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

The final result is 3657.0609756 with a remainder of 8e-08.
