We're dividing 406938 by 82 
Our goal is to divide 406938 by 82.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 82 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 82

Advancing to step 2:
The number 82 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 406 / 82

Going ahead to step 3:
406 divided by 82 is 4 with a remainder of 78.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 328 from 406 leaves us with 78.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 78 and continue: 789 / 82

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 789 by 82, we get 9 and a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtracting 738 from 789 leaves us with 51.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 513 / 82

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 513 by 82, we get 6 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 496.0
If we take 492 away from 513, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 82

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 218 by 82, we get 2 with a remainder of 54.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4962.0
Subtracting 164 from 218 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 82 fits into 540 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4962.6
Deduct 492 from 540 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 82 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4962.65
Subtracting 410 from 480 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 9:
700 divided by 82 is 8 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4962.658
If we subtract 656 from 700, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
440 divided by 82 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4962.6585
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 410 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 300 by 82, we get 3 and a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4962.65853
If we subtract 246 from 300, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 12:
82 can be fit into 540 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4962.658536
Subtract 492 from 540 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 82 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4962.6585365
Subtracting 410 from 480 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
82 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4962.65853658
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 656 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4962.65853658 with a remaining 4.4e-08.
