Let's divide 871973 by 83
We want to figure out the number of times 871973 can be divided by 83.

Let's proceed to step 1:
83 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 83

On to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 83, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 83 away from 87, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 41 / 83

Let's proceed to step 3:
41 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 41.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 41, we get 41.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 419 / 83

Advancing to step 4:
83 goes into 419 5 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 105.0
If we take 415 away from 419, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 83

Let's proceed to step 5:
83 goes into 47 0 times with a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1050.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 473 / 83

Let's proceed to step 6:
83 can be fit into 473 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10505.0
Deduct 415 from 473 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 580 by 83, we get 6 with a remainder of 82.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10505.6
If we subtract 498 from 580, we get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
83 can be fit into 820 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10505.69
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 747 from 820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 83 fits into 730 8 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10505.698
Subtracting 664 from 730 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
83 can be fit into 660 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 79.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10505.6987
Deduct 581 from 660 and we're left with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
83 can be fit into 790 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10505.69879
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 747 from 790.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
83 can be fit into 430 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10505.698795
If we subtract 415 from 430, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
83 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 67.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10505.6987951
Deduct 83 from 150 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 670 by 83, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10505.69879518
If we take 664 away from 670, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10505.69879518 with a balance of 6e-09.
