257801 ÷ 83 
We want to divide 257801 by 83.

On to step 1:
The number 83 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 83

Step 2:
83 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 83

Moving on to step 3:
The number 83 fits into 257 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 249 from 257.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 83

Step 4:
88 divided by 83 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Deduct 83 from 88 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 83

Step 5:
If we divide 50 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 310.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 501 / 83

Step 6:
If we divide 501 by 83, we get 6 and a remainder of 3.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3106.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 498 from 501.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
30 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3106.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
83 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3106.03
If we take 249 away from 300, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
510 divided by 83 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3106.036
If we take 498 away from 510, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 83, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3106.0361
If we take 83 away from 120, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
83 can be fit into 370 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3106.03614
Subtracting 332 from 370 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 380 by 83, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3106.036144
Deduct 332 from 380 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3106.036144 with a balance of 4.8e-06.
