We divide 261283 by 83
We're looking to find how many times 83 goes into 261283.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 83 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 83

Step 2:
When dividing 26 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 261 / 83

On to step 3:
When dividing 261 by 83, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 249 from 261 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 122 / 83

Step 4:
The number 83 fits into 122 1 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 83 from 122.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 398 / 83

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 398 by 83, we get 4 and a remainder of 66.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 314.0
If we take 332 away from 398, we end up with 66.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 663 / 83

Moving on to step 6:
The number 83 fits into 663 7 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3147.0
Subtract 581 from 663 to get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
83 goes into 820 9 times with a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3147.9
Subtracting 747 from 820 leaves us with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 730 by 83, we get 8 and a remainder of 66.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3147.98
Subtracting 664 from 730 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
83 goes into 660 7 times with a remainder of 79.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3147.987
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 790 by 83, we get 9 with a remainder of 43.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3147.9879
Subtract 747 from 790 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
83 goes into 430 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3147.98795
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.

Step 12:
83 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3147.987951
Subtract 83 from 150 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 670 by 83, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3147.9879518
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 664 from 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 60 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3147.9879518
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The final result is 3147.9879518 with a remainder of 6e-08.
