We're dividing 308604 by 83 
We want to figure out the number of times 308604 can be divided by 83.

Going ahead to step 1:
3 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 30 / 83

Let's proceed to step 2:
83 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 308 / 83

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 308 by 83, we get 3 with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 249 from 308 and we're left with 59.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 596 / 83

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 596 by 83, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we subtract 581 from 596, we get 15.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 150 / 83

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 83 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 371.0
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 83 from 150.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 674 / 83

Moving on to step 6:
83 can be fit into 674 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3718.0
Deduct 664 from 674 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 83 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3718.1
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 83 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 8:
170 divided by 83 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3718.12
Subtract 166 from 170 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 9:
The number 83 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3718.12
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
83 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 68.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3718.1204
Subtracting 332 from 400 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
680 divided by 83 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3718.12048
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 664 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
160 divided by 83 is 1 with a remainder of 77.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3718.120481
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 83 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
83 goes into 770 9 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3718.1204819
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 747 from 770.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 14:
83 can be fit into 230 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3718.12048192
Subtract 166 from 230 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3718.12048192 and a remainder of 6.4e-08.
