We're dividing 240452 by 83 
We want to divide 240452 by 83.

Let's proceed to step 1:
83 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 83

Moving on to step 2:
The number 83 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 240 / 83

Advancing to step 3:
83 goes into 240 2 times with a remainder of 74.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 166 from 240 and we're left with 74.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 744 / 83

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 83 fits into 744 8 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 664 from 744.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 80, then repeat: 805 / 83

Moving on to step 5:
83 goes into 805 9 times with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 289.0
Deduct 747 from 805 and we're left with 58.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 582 / 83

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 582 by 83, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2897.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 581 from 582.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 83 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2897.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 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 8:
When dividing 100 by 83, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2897.01
Subtracting 83 from 100 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
83 can be fit into 170 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2897.012
If we take 166 away from 170, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2897.012
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 83, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2897.01204
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.

Step 12:
83 goes into 680 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2897.012048
Subtract 664 from 680 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 160 by 83, we get 1 with a remainder of 77.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2897.0120481
Deduct 83 from 160 and we're left with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
83 can be fit into 770 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2897.01204819
If we subtract 747 from 770, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2897.01204819 and a remainder of 2.3e-08.
