Let's divide 988161 by 83
We want to figure out the number of times 988161 can be divided by 83.

Step 1:
9 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 83

Moving on to step 2:
The number 83 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 83 from 98, we get 15.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 158 / 83

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 158 by 83, we get 1 and a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 83 from 158 to get 75.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 75 and repeat the process: 751 / 83

Moving on to step 4:
751 divided by 83 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 119.0
If we subtract 747 from 751, we get 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 83

Moving on to step 5:
83 goes into 46 0 times with a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1190.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 0 from 46.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 461 / 83

Advancing to step 6:
83 can be fit into 461 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11905.0
Deduct 415 from 461 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
83 can be fit into 460 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11905.5
Subtract 415 from 460 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 83 fits into 450 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11905.55
If we take 415 away from 450, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11905.55 with a remaining 0.035.
