248442 divided by 83 
We want to figure out the number of times 248442 can be divided by 83.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 83

Advancing to step 2:
The number 83 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 248 / 83

Advancing to step 3:
The number 83 fits into 248 2 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 166 from 248 leaves us with 82.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 82, then repeat: 824 / 83

Let's proceed to step 4:
824 divided by 83 is 9 with a remainder of 77.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 747 from 824.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 77, then repeat: 774 / 83

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 774 by 83, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 299.0
If we subtract 747 from 774, we get 27.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 272 / 83

Advancing to step 6:
83 goes into 272 3 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2993.0
If we subtract 249 from 272, 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 230 by 83, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2993.2
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 166 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
640 divided by 83 is 7 with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2993.27
If we subtract 581 from 640, we get 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 9:
When dividing 590 by 83, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2993.277
Subtracting 581 from 590 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 2993.277 and a remainder of 0.0009.
