We're dividing 462977 by 83 
We're looking to find how many times 83 goes into 462977.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 83

Going ahead to step 2:
46 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 46 and we're left with 46.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 462 / 83

Advancing to step 3:
83 goes into 462 5 times with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 415 from 462 to get 47.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 479 / 83

Step 4:
83 goes into 479 5 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 415 from 479, we get 64.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 64, then carry on: 647 / 83

Step 5:
83 can be fit into 647 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 557.0
Deduct 581 from 647 and we're left with 66.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 667 / 83

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 83 fits into 667 8 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5578.0
Subtracting 664 from 667 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
30 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5578.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
83 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5578.03
If we subtract 249 from 300, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 510 by 83, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5578.036
Deduct 498 from 510 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 83, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5578.0361
Subtracting 83 from 120 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
If we divide 370 by 83, we get 4 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5578.03614
If we subtract 332 from 370, we get 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:
When dividing 380 by 83, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5578.036144
Subtract 332 from 380 to 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.

The final result is 5578.036144 with a remainder of 4.8e-06.
