81897 ÷ 83 
We're looking to find how many times 83 goes into 81897.

On to step 1:
8 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 81 / 83

Moving on to step 2:
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: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 81 leaves us with 81.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 81 and continue: 818 / 83

On to step 3:
If we divide 818 by 83, we get 9 and a remainder of 71.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 747 away from 818, we end up with 71.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 719 / 83

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 719 by 83, we get 8 and a remainder of 55.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 98.0
If we take 664 away from 719, we end up with 55.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 557 / 83

Moving on to step 5:
83 goes into 557 6 times with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 986.0
Subtracting 498 from 557 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
83 goes into 590 7 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 986.7
Deduct 581 from 590 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 90 by 83, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 986.71
Deduct 83 from 90 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 70 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 986.71
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
83 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 986.7108
If we subtract 664 from 700, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
83 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 986.71084
If we take 332 away from 360, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 280 by 83, we get 3 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 986.710843
Subtract 249 from 280 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
83 can be fit into 310 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 986.7108433
Subtract 249 from 310 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Our division results in 986.7108433 with a remaining 6.1e-07.
