Let's divide 242612 by 83
We want to divide 242612 by 83.

Step 1:
The number 83 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 83

Step 2:
The number 83 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 242 / 83

Let's proceed to step 3:
83 can be fit into 242 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 166 from 242.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 76 and repeat the process: 766 / 83

Step 4:
83 can be fit into 766 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 747 from 766 and we're left with 19.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 191 / 83

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 191 by 83, we get 2 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 292.0
If we take 166 away from 191, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 252 / 83

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 252 by 83, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2923.0
If we take 249 away from 252, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
83 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2923.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 83 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2923.03
If we take 249 away from 300, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
83 goes into 510 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2923.036
If we subtract 498 from 510, we 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 83, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2923.0361
Subtracting 83 from 120 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
83 goes into 370 4 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2923.03614
If we subtract 332 from 370, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 380 by 83, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2923.036144
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 332 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2923.036144 with a balance of 4.8e-06.
