Let's divide 141278 by 83
We're looking to find how many times 83 goes into 141278.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 83

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 141 / 83

Let's proceed to step 3:
83 can be fit into 141 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 83 from 141 and we're left with 58.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 582 / 83

On to step 4:
The number 83 fits into 582 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 581 away from 582, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 83

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 83 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 170.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 83

Step 6:
If we divide 178 by 83, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1702.0
Subtract 166 from 178 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 83 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1702.1
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.

Step 8:
If we divide 370 by 83, we get 4 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1702.14
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.

On to step 9:
83 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1702.144
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.

Our division results in 1702.144 with a remaining 0.0048.
