Let's divide 540342 by 83
Let's see how many times 83 fits into 540342.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 83

Step 2:
83 goes into 54 0 times with a remainder of 54.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 0 from 54.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 540 / 83

Let's proceed to step 3:
540 divided by 83 is 6 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 498 from 540 to get 42.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 423 / 83

Going ahead to step 4:
83 goes into 423 5 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 65.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 415 from 423.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 84 / 83

Step 5:
83 goes into 84 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 651.0
Subtracting 83 from 84 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 83

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 83 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6510.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
120 divided by 83 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6510.1
If we subtract 83 from 120, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 370 by 83, we get 4 with a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6510.14
If we take 332 away from 370, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
83 goes into 380 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6510.144
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 6510.144 with a balance of 0.0048.
