We divide 3542817 by 83
We want to figure out the number of times 3542817 can be divided by 83.

Moving on to step 1:
3 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 35 / 83

On to step 2:
83 can be fit into 35 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 35 to get 35.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 354 / 83

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 354 by 83, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 332 from 354, we get 22.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 222 / 83

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 222 by 83, we get 2 with a remainder of 56.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 166 from 222.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 568 / 83

Step 5:
83 can be fit into 568 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 426.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 498 from 568.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 701 / 83

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 701 by 83, we get 8 and a remainder of 37.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4268.0
If we take 664 away from 701, we end up with 37.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 377 / 83

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 377 by 83, we get 4 with a remainder of 45.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42684.0
If we subtract 332 from 377, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
83 can be fit into 450 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42684.5
Deduct 415 from 450 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
83 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42684.54
If we subtract 332 from 350, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
83 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42684.542
If we subtract 166 from 180, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 83 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42684.5421
Subtract 83 from 140 to get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
570 divided by 83 is 6 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42684.54216
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 498 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 83 fits into 720 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42684.542168
Subtract 664 from 720 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 83 fits into 560 6 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 42684.5421686
Deduct 498 from 560 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 83 fits into 620 7 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42684.54216867
Deduct 581 from 620 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Our division results in 42684.54216867 with a remaining 3.9e-08.
