We divide 298916 by 83
We want to figure out the number of times 298916 can be divided by 83.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 83

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 83

Going ahead to step 3:
83 goes into 298 3 times with a remainder of 49.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 249 from 298, we get 49.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 499 / 83

Advancing to step 4:
499 divided by 83 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 36.0
Deduct 498 from 499 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 83

On to step 5:
When dividing 11 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 360.0
If we subtract 0 from 11, we get 11.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 116 / 83

Moving on to step 6:
The number 83 fits into 116 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3601.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 83 from 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 83 fits into 330 3 times, leaving a remainder of 81.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3601.3
Subtracting 249 from 330 leaves us with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 810 by 83, we get 9 and a remainder of 63.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3601.39
Deduct 747 from 810 and we're left with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 630 by 83, we get 7 and a remainder of 49.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3601.397
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 581 from 630.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 490 by 83, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3601.3975
If we subtract 415 from 490, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 750 by 83, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3601.39759
If we subtract 747 from 750, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 30 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3601.39759
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 83, we get 3 and a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3601.3975903
If we subtract 249 from 300, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 510 by 83, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3601.39759036
Deduct 498 from 510 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3601.39759036 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
