278241 ÷ 83 
Our goal is to divide 278241 by 83.

On to step 1:
83 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 83

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 83

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 278 by 83, we get 3 and a remainder of 29.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 249 away from 278, we end up with 29.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 292 / 83

On to step 4:
292 divided by 83 is 3 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 249 from 292.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 434 / 83

Step 5:
83 goes into 434 5 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 335.0
If we take 415 away from 434, we end up with 19.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 191 / 83

Let's proceed to step 6:
83 can be fit into 191 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3352.0
Deduct 166 from 191 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
250 divided by 83 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3352.3
Subtract 249 from 250 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 10 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3352.3
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 83, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3352.301
Subtract 83 from 100 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
83 can be fit into 170 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3352.3012
Subtract 166 from 170 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 11:
83 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3352.3012
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 400 by 83, we get 4 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3352.301204
Subtract 332 from 400 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 680 by 83, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3352.3012048
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 664 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 83 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3352.30120481
Subtracting 83 from 160 leaves us with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3352.30120481, and the remainder is 7.7e-08.
