We're dividing 299731 by 83 
Our goal is to divide 299731 by 83.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 83

On to step 2:
29 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 299 / 83

Step 3:
299 divided by 83 is 3 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 249 from 299 leaves us with 50.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 507 / 83

On to step 4:
507 divided by 83 is 6 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 36.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 498 from 507.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 93 / 83

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 93 by 83, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 361.0
Deduct 83 from 93 and we're left with 10.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 101 / 83

Advancing to step 6:
101 divided by 83 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3611.0
Deduct 83 from 101 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 180 by 83, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3611.2
Subtracting 166 from 180 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 83, we get 1 with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3611.21
If we take 83 away from 140, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
83 can be fit into 570 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3611.216
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 498 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 720 by 83, we get 8 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3611.2168
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 664 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 83 fits into 560 6 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3611.21686
If we subtract 498 from 560, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 620 by 83, we get 7 with a remainder of 39.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3611.216867
Deduct 581 from 620 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 390 by 83, we get 4 and a remainder of 58.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3611.2168674
If we subtract 332 from 390, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
83 goes into 580 6 times with a remainder of 82.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3611.21686746
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 498 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3611.21686746 with a balance of 8.2e-08.
