Let's divide 971908 by 83
We're looking to find how many times 83 goes into 971908.

Going ahead to step 1:
83 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 83

Moving on to step 2:
83 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 83 from 97 and we're left with 14.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 141 / 83

Step 3:
If we divide 141 by 83, we get 1 and a remainder of 58.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 83 from 141, we get 58.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 589 / 83

Step 4:
If we divide 589 by 83, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we subtract 581 from 589, we get 8.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 80 / 83

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 80 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1170.0
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 80, then carry on: 808 / 83

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 808 by 83, we get 9 with a remainder of 61.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11709.0
Subtracting 747 from 808 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
83 goes into 610 7 times with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11709.7
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 581 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
290 divided by 83 is 3 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11709.73
If we take 249 away from 290, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 410 by 83, we get 4 with a remainder of 78.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11709.734
Subtract 332 from 410 to get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 780 by 83, we get 9 with a remainder of 33.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11709.7349
Subtract 747 from 780 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 83 fits into 330 3 times, leaving a remainder of 81.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11709.73493
If we take 249 away from 330, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 810 by 83, we get 9 and a remainder of 63.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11709.734939
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 747 from 810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Step 13:
83 goes into 630 7 times with a remainder of 49.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11709.7349397
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 490 by 83, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11709.73493975
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.

After the division, we end up with 11709.73493975 and a remainder of 7.5e-08.
