Let's divide 281258 by 82
Let's see how many times 82 fits into 281258.

Going ahead to step 1:
82 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 82

Let's proceed to step 2:
28 divided by 82 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 281 / 82

Let's proceed to step 3:
82 goes into 281 3 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 246 from 281.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 352 / 82

Moving on to step 4:
352 divided by 82 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtract 328 from 352 to get 24.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 245 / 82

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 245 by 82, we get 2 and a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 342.0
Subtracting 164 from 245 leaves us with 81.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 81, then repeat: 818 / 82

Step 6:
82 can be fit into 818 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3429.0
Subtracting 738 from 818 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 82 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3429.9
Deduct 738 from 800 and we're left with 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 8:
82 can be fit into 620 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3429.97
If we take 574 away from 620, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
460 divided by 82 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3429.975
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 410 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
82 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3429.9756
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 82 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3429.9756
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 82 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3429.975609
If we subtract 738 from 800, we 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.

Step 13:
82 goes into 620 7 times with a remainder of 46.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3429.9756097
Subtract 574 from 620 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 14:
82 can be fit into 460 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3429.97560975
Subtracting 410 from 460 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3429.97560975 with a balance of 5e-08.
