We're dividing 477984 by 82 
We're looking to find how many times 82 goes into 477984.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 82, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 82

On to step 2:
82 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 477 / 82

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 477 by 82, we get 5 with a remainder of 67.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 410 from 477 leaves us with 67.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 67, then repeat: 679 / 82

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 82 fits into 679 8 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we subtract 656 from 679, we get 23.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 238 / 82

Moving on to step 5:
82 goes into 238 2 times with a remainder of 74.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 582.0
If we subtract 164 from 238, we get 74.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 744 / 82

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 744 by 82, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5829.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 738 from 744.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
82 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5829.0
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
82 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5829.07
Subtracting 574 from 600 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
82 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5829.073
Subtract 246 from 260 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 140 by 82, we get 1 with a remainder of 58.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5829.0731
If we subtract 82 from 140, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 580 by 82, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5829.07317
Subtracting 574 from 580 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 82 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5829.07317
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
82 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5829.0731707
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 574 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
260 divided by 82 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5829.07317073
Deduct 246 from 260 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5829.07317073 and a remainder of 1.4e-08.
