We divide 161281 by 83
We want to divide 161281 by 83.

On to step 1:
83 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 83

Let's proceed to step 2:
16 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 161 / 83

Going ahead to step 3:
83 goes into 161 1 times with a remainder of 78.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 83 from 161 to get 78.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 78, then carry on: 782 / 83

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 83 fits into 782 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 747 from 782.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 358 / 83

Moving on to step 5:
The number 83 fits into 358 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 194.0
If we take 332 away from 358, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 261 / 83

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 83 fits into 261 3 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1943.0
Subtracting 249 from 261 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 120 by 83, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1943.1
If we subtract 83 from 120, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 370 by 83, we get 4 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1943.14
Subtract 332 from 370 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 380 by 83, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1943.144
Subtract 332 from 380 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1943.144 with a balance of 0.0048.
