Let's divide 257823 by 83
Our goal is to divide 257823 by 83.

On to step 1:
83 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 83

Step 2:
83 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 257 / 83

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 83 fits into 257 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 249 from 257, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 83

On to step 4:
The number 83 fits into 88 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
Deduct 83 from 88 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 52 / 83

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 52 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 310.0
Subtract 0 from 52 to get 52.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 523 / 83

Going ahead to step 6:
523 divided by 83 is 6 with a remainder of 25.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3106.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 498 from 523.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 7:
83 can be fit into 250 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3106.3
Deduct 249 from 250 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 10 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3106.3
Deduct 0 from 10 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 9:
83 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3106.301
If we subtract 83 from 100, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 170 by 83, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3106.3012
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 166 from 170.
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 11:
The number 83 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3106.3012
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 12:
83 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3106.301204
If we take 332 away from 400, we end up 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 13:
When dividing 680 by 83, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3106.3012048
If we take 664 away from 680, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 83, we get 1 with a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3106.30120481
If we subtract 83 from 160, we get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

The final result is 3106.30120481 with a remainder of 7.7e-08.
