We divide 46878 by 83
Our goal is to divide 46878 by 83.

Going ahead to step 1:
83 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 83

Let's proceed to step 2:
83 can be fit into 46 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 46, we get 46.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 468 / 83

Let's proceed to step 3:
83 goes into 468 5 times with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 415 from 468 to get 53.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 537 / 83

Moving on to step 4:
83 goes into 537 6 times with a remainder of 39.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtract 498 from 537 to get 39.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 398 / 83

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 398 by 83, we get 4 with a remainder of 66.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 564.0
Subtracting 332 from 398 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 83 fits into 660 7 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 564.7
Deduct 581 from 660 and we're left with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 790 by 83, we get 9 and a remainder of 43.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 564.79
Deduct 747 from 790 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 83 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 564.795
If we take 415 away from 430, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
83 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 564.7951
Subtracting 83 from 150 leaves us with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 83 fits into 670 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 564.79518
Subtracting 664 from 670 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 11:
60 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 564.79518
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 600 by 83, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 564.7951807
If we subtract 581 from 600, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
83 goes into 190 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 564.79518072
If we subtract 166 from 190, 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.

After the division, we end up with 564.79518072 and a remainder of 2.4e-08.
