Let's divide 257868 by 83
We want to divide 257868 by 83.

Let's proceed to step 1:
83 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 83

Going ahead to step 2:
83 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 83

Let's proceed to step 3:
257 divided by 83 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 249 from 257 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 83

On to step 4:
When dividing 88 by 83, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 83 from 88.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 83

Moving on to step 5:
83 can be fit into 56 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 310.0
Subtracting 0 from 56 leaves us with 56.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 568 / 83

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 83 fits into 568 6 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3106.0
Subtracting 498 from 568 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 83 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3106.8
Subtracting 664 from 700 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 83 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3106.84
If we subtract 332 from 360, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
83 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3106.843
If we subtract 249 from 280, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
83 can be fit into 310 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3106.8433
Deduct 249 from 310 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3106.8433 with a remaining 0.00061.
