Let's divide 299179 by 83
We want to divide 299179 by 83.

Step 1:
83 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 83

On to step 2:
83 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 299 / 83

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 299 by 83, we get 3 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 249 from 299 and we're left with 50.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 501 / 83

Step 4:
83 goes into 501 6 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 498 from 501.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 83

Going ahead to step 5:
83 goes into 37 0 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 360.0
Subtracting 0 from 37 leaves us with 37.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 379 / 83

On to step 6:
83 can be fit into 379 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3604.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 332 from 379.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 83 fits into 470 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3604.5
If we take 415 away from 470, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
83 can be fit into 550 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3604.56
Deduct 498 from 550 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 520 by 83, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3604.566
Subtracting 498 from 520 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 3604.566 and a remainder of 0.0022.
