We're dividing 154701 by 82 
We want to divide 154701 by 82.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 82, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 82

Step 2:
If we divide 15 by 82, we get 0 and a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 154 / 82

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 154 by 82, we get 1 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 82 from 154 and we're left with 72.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 727 / 82

On to step 4:
82 goes into 727 8 times with a remainder of 71.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 656 from 727 and we're left with 71.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 710 / 82

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 710 by 82, we get 8 and a remainder of 54.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 188.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 656 from 710.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 541 / 82

Step 6:
82 can be fit into 541 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1886.0
If we subtract 492 from 541, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
82 can be fit into 490 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1886.5
Subtracting 410 from 490 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 8:
82 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 62.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1886.59
Subtract 738 from 800 to 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.

On to step 9:
82 can be fit into 620 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1886.597
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 574 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
82 can be fit into 460 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1886.5975
Deduct 410 from 460 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 500 by 82, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1886.59756
Subtract 492 from 500 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 80 by 82, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1886.59756
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 13:
800 divided by 82 is 9 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1886.5975609
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
82 can be fit into 620 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1886.59756097
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 574 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

The final result is 1886.59756097 with a remainder of 4.6e-08.
