Let's divide 212488 by 83
We want to figure out the number of times 212488 can be divided by 83.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 83, we get 0 and 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 (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 83

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 83 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 212 / 83

Advancing to step 3:
The number 83 fits into 212 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 166 from 212 and we're left with 46.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 464 / 83

Step 4:
83 goes into 464 5 times with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 415 from 464 leaves us with 49.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 498 / 83

Advancing to step 5:
The number 83 fits into 498 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 256.0
If we subtract 498 from 498, we get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 83

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 8 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2560.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2560.0
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
800 divided by 83 is 9 with a remainder of 53.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2560.09
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 747 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 530 by 83, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2560.096
If we subtract 498 from 530, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 83 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2560.0963
If we take 249 away from 320, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 83 fits into 710 8 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2560.09638
Deduct 664 from 710 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
460 divided by 83 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2560.096385
If we take 415 away from 460, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 83 fits into 450 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2560.0963855
If we take 415 away from 450, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2560.0963855 with a balance of 3.5e-07.
