Let's divide 317278 by 83
We want to figure out the number of times 317278 can be divided by 83.

Let's proceed to step 1:
83 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 83

On to step 2:
83 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 317 / 83

Going ahead to step 3:
83 can be fit into 317 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 249 from 317 to get 68.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 682 / 83

On to step 4:
When dividing 682 by 83, we get 8 with a remainder of 18.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 664 from 682 leaves us with 18.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 187 / 83

Let's proceed to step 5:
187 divided by 83 is 2 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 382.0
If we subtract 166 from 187, we get 21.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 218 / 83

On to step 6:
The number 83 fits into 218 2 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3822.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 166 from 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
520 divided by 83 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3822.6
If we take 498 away from 520, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
220 divided by 83 is 2 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3822.62
If we subtract 166 from 220, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
540 divided by 83 is 6 with a remainder of 42.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3822.626
Subtracting 498 from 540 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
420 divided by 83 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3822.6265
If we subtract 415 from 420, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 50 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3822.6265
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 12:
83 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3822.626506
Subtracting 498 from 500 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
83 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3822.626506
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 200 by 83, we get 2 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3822.62650602
Subtracting 166 from 200 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3822.62650602 and a remainder of 3.4e-08.
