We divide 531740 by 82
We're looking to find how many times 82 goes into 531740.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 82, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 53 / 82

Advancing to step 2:
The number 82 fits into 53 0 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 0 from 53.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 531 / 82

Let's proceed to step 3:
531 divided by 82 is 6 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 492 away from 531, we end up with 39.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 397 / 82

Let's proceed to step 4:
82 goes into 397 4 times with a remainder of 69.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 64.0
Subtracting 328 from 397 leaves us with 69.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 69 and continue with: 694 / 82

Step 5:
82 goes into 694 8 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 648.0
If we subtract 656 from 694, we get 38.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 380 / 82

Moving on to step 6:
380 divided by 82 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6484.0
If we take 328 away from 380, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
82 can be fit into 520 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6484.6
If we take 492 away from 520, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
82 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6484.63
If we subtract 246 from 280, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
82 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6484.634
Deduct 328 from 340 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 82, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6484.6341
If we subtract 82 from 120, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 11:
82 goes into 380 4 times with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6484.63414
If we subtract 328 from 380, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
520 divided by 82 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6484.634146
If we subtract 492 from 520, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 280 by 82, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6484.6341463
Deduct 246 from 280 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
82 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6484.63414634
If we take 328 away from 340, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6484.63414634 and a remainder of 1.2e-08.
