We divide 979988 by 82
We want to figure out the number of times 979988 can be divided by 82.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 82, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 82

Going ahead to step 2:
82 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 82 from 97.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 159 / 82

Advancing to step 3:
82 goes into 159 1 times with a remainder of 77.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 82 away from 159, we end up with 77.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 77, then repeat: 779 / 82

Moving on to step 4:
82 goes into 779 9 times with a remainder of 41.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 119.0
Subtracting 738 from 779 leaves us with 41.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 418 / 82

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 418 by 82, we get 5 and a remainder of 8.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1195.0
Deduct 410 from 418 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 82

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 88 by 82, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11951.0
If we subtract 82 from 88, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
82 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11951.0
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 8:
82 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11951.07
If we subtract 574 from 600, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 260 by 82, we get 3 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11951.073
If we subtract 246 from 260, we 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.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11951.0731
Subtracting 82 from 140 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 82 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11951.07317
If we subtract 574 from 580, we get 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:
82 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11951.07317
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 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 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11951.0731707
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.

Advancing to step 14:
82 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11951.07317073
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11951.07317073 with a balance of 1.4e-08.
