Let's divide 83461978 by 479
We're looking to find how many times 479 goes into 83461978.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 479 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 83 / 479

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 479 fits into 83 0 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 83 to get 83.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 83 and continue with: 834 / 479

On to step 3:
When dividing 834 by 479, we get 1 with a remainder of 355.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 479 from 834 to get 355.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 355 and repeat the process: 3556 / 479

Step 4:
If we divide 3556 by 479, we get 7 and a remainder of 203.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 3353 from 3556 and we're left with 203.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 203 and continue: 2031 / 479

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 2031 by 479, we get 4 and a remainder of 115.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtract 1916 from 2031 to get 115.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 115, then repeat: 1159 / 479

On to step 6:
1159 divided by 479 is 2 with a remainder of 201.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1742.0
If we subtract 958 from 1159, we get 201.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 201, then repeat: 2017 / 479

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 2017 by 479, we get 4 and a remainder of 101.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17424.0
Subtract 1916 from 2017 to get 101.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 101, then carry on: 1018 / 479

Let's proceed to step 8:
1018 divided by 479 is 2 with a remainder of 60.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174242.0
Subtracting 958 from 1018 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
600 divided by 479 is 1 with a remainder of 121.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 174242.1
Subtracting 479 from 600 leaves us with 121.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 1210 by 479, we get 2 with a remainder of 252.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174242.12
Subtract 958 from 1210 to get 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
479 can be fit into 2520 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 125.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174242.125
If we subtract 2395 from 2520, we get 125.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 1250 by 479, we get 2 and a remainder of 292.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174242.1252
Deduct 958 from 1250 and we're left with 292.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 479 fits into 2920 6 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 174242.12526
Deduct 2874 from 2920 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
460 divided by 479 is 0 with a remainder of 460.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174242.12526
Subtracting 0 from 460 leaves us with 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 4600 by 479, we get 9 with a remainder of 289.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 174242.1252609
Subtract 4311 from 4600 to get 289.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2890, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
If we divide 2890 by 479, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 174242.12526096
If we take 2874 away from 2890, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 174242.12526096 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
