4 divided by 203 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 203

Step 2:
The number 203 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 401 / 203

On to step 3:
The number 203 fits into 401 1 times, leaving a remainder of 198.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 203 away from 401, we end up with 198.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 198, then carry on: 1987 / 203

Step 4:
When dividing 1987 by 203, we get 9 with a remainder of 160.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 160 after subtracting 1827 from 1987.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 160, then carry on: 1608 / 203

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 1608 by 203, we get 7 with a remainder of 187.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 197.0
Subtracting 1421 from 1608 leaves us with 187.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 187, then repeat: 1875 / 203

Step 6:
If we divide 1875 by 203, we get 9 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1979.0
Subtracting 1827 from 1875 leaves us with 48.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 488 / 203

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 488 by 203, we get 2 with a remainder of 82.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19792.0
Subtract 406 from 488 to get 82.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 82, then carry on: 829 / 203

Step 8:
203 goes into 829 4 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 197924.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 812 from 829.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
170 divided by 203 is 0 with a remainder of 170.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 197924.0
Deduct 0 from 170 and we're left with 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
203 can be fit into 1700 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 197924.08
If we subtract 1624 from 1700, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 11:
203 can be fit into 760 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 151.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 197924.083
Subtract 609 from 760 to get 151.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 1510 by 203, we get 7 with a remainder of 89.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 197924.0837
If we take 1421 away from 1510, we end up with 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Step 13:
890 divided by 203 is 4 with a remainder of 78.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 197924.08374
If we take 812 away from 890, we end up with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
203 can be fit into 780 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 171.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 197924.083743
Deduct 609 from 780 and we're left with 171.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
203 can be fit into 1710 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 197924.0837438
Subtracting 1624 from 1710 leaves us with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 203 fits into 860 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 197924.08374384
If we subtract 812 from 860, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 197924.08374384 with a remaining 4.8e-08.
