We're dividing 85983 by 38 
Our goal is to divide 85983 by 38.

Step 1:
38 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 85 2 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 76 from 85 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
38 can be fit into 99 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 76 from 99 to get 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 238 / 38

Step 4:
The number 38 fits into 238 6 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 226.0
Subtracting 228 from 238 leaves us with 10.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 103 / 38

Step 5:
If we divide 103 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2262.0
If we take 76 away from 103, 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.

Advancing to step 6:
38 can be fit into 270 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2262.7
Subtract 266 from 270 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
38 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2262.71
Subtract 38 from 40 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
20 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2262.71
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
200 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2262.7105
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 190 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
38 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2262.71052
If we subtract 76 from 100, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 38 fits into 240 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2262.710526
Subtract 228 from 240 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
38 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2262.7105263
Subtract 114 from 120 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
38 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2262.71052631
Subtracting 38 from 60 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2262.71052631, and the remainder is 2.2e-08.
