We're dividing 149879 by 83 
We want to figure out the number of times 149879 can be divided by 83.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 83

Let's proceed to step 2:
83 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 149 / 83

On to step 3:
83 goes into 149 1 times with a remainder of 66.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 83 from 149 leaves us with 66.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 668 / 83

Moving on to step 4:
The number 83 fits into 668 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 664 away from 668, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 83

Moving on to step 5:
47 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 180.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 479 / 83

Going ahead to step 6:
83 can be fit into 479 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1805.0
Subtracting 415 from 479 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
640 divided by 83 is 7 with a remainder of 59.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1805.7
If we subtract 581 from 640, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
83 goes into 590 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1805.77
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 581 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1805.77 and a remainder of 0.009.
