278690 divided by 82 
We want to figure out the number of times 278690 can be divided by 82.

Advancing to step 1:
82 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 82

Step 2:
When dividing 27 by 82, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 82

Let's proceed to step 3:
82 can be fit into 278 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 246 from 278, we get 32.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 326 / 82

Moving on to step 4:
82 goes into 326 3 times with a remainder of 80.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtracting 246 from 326 leaves us with 80.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 80 and repeat the process: 809 / 82

On to step 5:
When dividing 809 by 82, we get 9 with a remainder of 71.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 339.0
Subtract 738 from 809 to get 71.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 71 and continue with: 710 / 82

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 710 by 82, we get 8 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3398.0
If we take 656 away from 710, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 540 by 82, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3398.6
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 480 by 82, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3398.65
If we take 410 away from 480, we end up 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:
82 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3398.658
Deduct 656 from 700 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 440 by 82, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3398.6585
If we subtract 410 from 440, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 300 by 82, we get 3 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3398.65853
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 246 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 82 fits into 540 6 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3398.658536
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 82 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3398.6585365
Deduct 410 from 480 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 700 by 82, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3398.65853658
Subtracting 656 from 700 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The final result is 3398.65853658 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
