We look at the division of 264488 by 83 
We want to divide 264488 by 83.

On to step 1:
83 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 83

Going ahead to step 2:
26 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 264 / 83

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 264 by 83, we get 3 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 249 from 264, we get 15.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 154 / 83

Going ahead to step 4:
83 goes into 154 1 times with a remainder of 71.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 83 from 154 to get 71.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 718 / 83

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 718 by 83, we get 8 and a remainder of 54.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 318.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 664 from 718.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 548 / 83

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 548 by 83, we get 6 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3186.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 498 from 548.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 83 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3186.6
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 498 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 83 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3186.6
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.

Step 9:
The number 83 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3186.602
If we take 166 away from 200, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
83 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3186.6024
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 332 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
83 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3186.6024
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
83 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3186.602409
Subtracting 747 from 800 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Step 13:
530 divided by 83 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3186.6024096
If we subtract 498 from 530, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
83 goes into 320 3 times with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3186.60240963
Subtract 249 from 320 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

The final result is 3186.60240963 with a remainder of 7.1e-08.
