Let's divide 212849 by 83
We want to divide 212849 by 83.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 83

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 212 / 83

Step 3:
When dividing 212 by 83, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 166 from 212 to get 46.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 468 / 83

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 468 by 83, we get 5 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 415 from 468 to get 53.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 534 / 83

Step 5:
534 divided by 83 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 256.0
Deduct 498 from 534 and we're left with 36.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 369 / 83

Step 6:
If we divide 369 by 83, we get 4 and a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2564.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 332 from 369.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
370 divided by 83 is 4 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2564.4
Subtracting 332 from 370 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 83 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2564.44
If we take 332 away from 380, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2564.44 and a remainder of 0.048.
