We're dividing 978164 by 83 
We want to divide 978164 by 83.

Step 1:
The number 83 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 83

Let's proceed to step 2:
97 divided by 83 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 83 from 97 leaves us with 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 83

Step 3:
83 can be fit into 148 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 83 from 148, we get 65.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 65 and repeat the process: 651 / 83

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 651 by 83, we get 7 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 117.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 581 from 651.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 706 / 83

Let's proceed to step 5:
83 can be fit into 706 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1178.0
Subtract 664 from 706 to get 42.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 424 / 83

Step 6:
83 goes into 424 5 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11785.0
Subtracting 415 from 424 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 83 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11785.1
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 83 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
70 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11785.1
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 9:
83 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11785.108
Deduct 664 from 700 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
83 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11785.1084
Subtracting 332 from 360 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 280 by 83, we get 3 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11785.10843
If we take 249 away from 280, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 83 fits into 310 3 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11785.108433
Subtract 249 from 310 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

The final result is 11785.108433 with a remainder of 6.1e-06.
