We're dividing 179440 by 83 
Our goal is to divide 179440 by 83.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 83 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 83

Step 2:
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: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 179 / 83

On to step 3:
If we divide 179 by 83, we get 2 and a remainder of 13.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 166 from 179, we get 13.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 134 / 83

Advancing to step 4:
The number 83 fits into 134 1 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 83 from 134 leaves us with 51.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 514 / 83

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 514 by 83, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 216.0
If we subtract 498 from 514, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 160 / 83

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 160 by 83, we get 1 and a remainder of 77.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2161.0
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 83 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Step 7:
770 divided by 83 is 9 with a remainder of 23.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2161.9
Subtracting 747 from 770 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
83 goes into 230 2 times with a remainder of 64.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2161.92
If we subtract 166 from 230, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 83 fits into 640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2161.927
Deduct 581 from 640 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 83 fits into 590 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2161.9277
Deduct 581 from 590 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2161.9277 with a remaining 9e-05.
