We look at the division of 978979 by 83 
We want to divide 978979 by 83.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 83

Advancing to step 2:
The number 83 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 83 from 97, we get 14.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 83

Moving on to step 3:
148 divided by 83 is 1 with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 83 away from 148, we end up with 65.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 65, then carry on: 659 / 83

On to step 4:
659 divided by 83 is 7 with a remainder of 78.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 117.0
Deduct 581 from 659 and we're left with 78.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 78 and continue: 787 / 83

Going ahead to step 5:
83 can be fit into 787 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1179.0
Deduct 747 from 787 and we're left with 40.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 409 / 83

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 409 by 83, we get 4 and a remainder of 77.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11794.0
Subtract 332 from 409 to get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
83 goes into 770 9 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11794.9
Subtracting 747 from 770 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
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: 11794.92
If we take 166 away from 230, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 83 fits into 640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11794.927
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 581 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 83 fits into 590 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11794.9277
Subtract 581 from 590 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11794.9277 with a remaining 9e-05.
