We divide 257422 by 83
We're looking to find how many times 83 goes into 257422.

Step 1:
83 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 83

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 257 / 83

On to step 3:
83 goes into 257 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 249 away from 257, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 84 / 83

Step 4:
83 can be fit into 84 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 83 from 84 to get 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 83

On to step 5:
When dividing 12 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 310.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 122 / 83

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 122 by 83, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3101.0
Deduct 83 from 122 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 83 fits into 390 4 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3101.4
Deduct 332 from 390 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 580 by 83, we get 6 with a remainder of 82.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3101.46
If we subtract 498 from 580, we get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 820 by 83, we get 9 and a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3101.469
Deduct 747 from 820 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
730 divided by 83 is 8 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3101.4698
Deduct 664 from 730 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 83 fits into 660 7 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3101.46987
Deduct 581 from 660 and we're left with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 790 by 83, we get 9 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3101.469879
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 747 from 790.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 83 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3101.4698795
Subtracting 415 from 430 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 150 by 83, we get 1 with a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3101.46987951
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 83 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

The final result is 3101.46987951 with a remainder of 6.7e-08.
