We divide 517982 by 1
We want to divide 517982 by 1.

Step 1:
5 divided by 1 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 5 from 5 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 1

Moving on to step 2:
The number 1 fits into 1 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtract 1 from 1 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 1

Moving on to step 3:
The number 1 fits into 7 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 517.0
Subtracting 7 from 7 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 1

On to step 4:
When dividing 9 by 1, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5179.0
If we subtract 9 from 9, we get 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 1

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 8 by 1, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51798.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 1

On to step 6:
When dividing 2 by 1, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 517982.0
Subtracting 2 from 2 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 1, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 517982.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 1, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 517982.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 517982.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
