508871 ÷ 83 
We're looking to find how many times 83 goes into 508871.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 83

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 508 / 83

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 508 by 83, we get 6 with a remainder of 10.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 498 from 508 to get 10.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 108 / 83

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 83 fits into 108 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61.0
Deduct 83 from 108 and we're left with 25.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 257 / 83

On to step 5:
83 goes into 257 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 613.0
Subtracting 249 from 257 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 81 / 83

Advancing to step 6:
The number 83 fits into 81 0 times, leaving a remainder of 81.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6130.0
Subtracting 0 from 81 leaves us with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
83 goes into 810 9 times with a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6130.9
If we subtract 747 from 810, we get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
83 can be fit into 630 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6130.97
If we subtract 581 from 630, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
83 goes into 490 5 times with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6130.975
Subtracting 415 from 490 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
750 divided by 83 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6130.9759
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 747 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 30 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6130.9759
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
83 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6130.975903
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 249 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 510 by 83, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6130.9759036
Subtracting 498 from 510 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 83 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6130.97590361
Deduct 83 from 120 and we're left 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.

The final result is 6130.97590361 with a remainder of 3.7e-08.
