We're dividing 97869 by 83 
We want to divide 97869 by 83.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 83 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 83

Step 2:
83 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 83 from 97, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 83

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 148 by 83, we get 1 and a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 83 from 148 leaves us with 65.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 65 and continue: 656 / 83

On to step 4:
83 can be fit into 656 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we subtract 581 from 656, we get 75.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 75, then carry on: 759 / 83

Step 5:
The number 83 fits into 759 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1179.0
If we take 747 away from 759, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 6:
83 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1179.1
If we take 83 away from 120, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
83 can be fit into 370 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1179.14
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 332 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 83 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1179.144
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 332 from 380.
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 1179.144 with a remaining 0.0048.
