142679 ÷ 83 
We want to divide 142679 by 83.

Let's proceed to step 1:
83 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 83

Moving on to step 2:
14 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 142 / 83

Moving on to step 3:
83 goes into 142 1 times with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 83 away from 142, we end up with 59.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 596 / 83

Going ahead to step 4:
83 goes into 596 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 581 from 596 leaves us with 15.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 157 / 83

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 157 by 83, we get 1 with a remainder of 74.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 171.0
If we subtract 83 from 157, we get 74.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 749 / 83

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 749 by 83, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1719.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 747 from 749.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
20 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1719.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
200 divided by 83 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1719.02
Subtract 166 from 200 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
83 can be fit into 340 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1719.024
Subtract 332 from 340 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1719.024
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
83 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1719.02409
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.

Moving on to step 12:
83 goes into 530 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1719.024096
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.

On to step 13:
83 goes into 320 3 times with a remainder of 71.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1719.0240963
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.

Advancing to step 14:
710 divided by 83 is 8 with a remainder of 46.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1719.02409638
Deduct 664 from 710 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1719.02409638 with a remaining 4.6e-08.
