Let's divide 988956 by 83
We're looking to find how many times 83 goes into 988956.

Moving on to step 1:
9 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 83

Step 2:
83 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 83 from 98, we get 15.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 158 / 83

On to step 3:
83 goes into 158 1 times with a remainder of 75.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 83 from 158 and we're left with 75.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 75, then carry on: 759 / 83

Going ahead to step 4:
83 goes into 759 9 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 119.0
If we take 747 away from 759, we end up with 12.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 125 / 83

Going ahead to step 5:
83 can be fit into 125 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1191.0
If we take 83 away from 125, we end up with 42.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 426 / 83

Advancing to step 6:
426 divided by 83 is 5 with a remainder of 11.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11915.0
If we take 415 away from 426, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 83, we get 1 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11915.1
If we take 83 away from 110, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 270 by 83, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11915.13
Subtracting 249 from 270 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
210 divided by 83 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11915.132
Subtracting 166 from 210 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 440 by 83, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11915.1325
If we take 415 away from 440, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
83 goes into 250 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11915.13253
If we subtract 249 from 250, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
83 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11915.13253
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
100 divided by 83 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11915.1325301
If we subtract 83 from 100, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 83 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11915.13253012
If we take 166 away from 170, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11915.13253012 with a balance of 4e-09.
