We're dividing 254178 by 83 
We want to divide 254178 by 83.

Step 1:
The number 83 fits into 2 0 times, leaving 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.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 83

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 254 / 83

Moving on to step 3:
83 goes into 254 3 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 249 from 254 to get 5.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 51 / 83

On to step 4:
51 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 51.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 0 from 51.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 517 / 83

Step 5:
517 divided by 83 is 6 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 306.0
Subtracting 498 from 517 leaves us with 19.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 198 / 83

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 198 by 83, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3062.0
Subtract 166 from 198 to 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 320 by 83, we get 3 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3062.3
Subtract 249 from 320 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
83 can be fit into 710 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3062.38
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.

Step 9:
83 can be fit into 460 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3062.385
Deduct 415 from 460 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
83 can be fit into 450 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3062.3855
If we subtract 415 from 450, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3062.3855, with a leftover of 0.00035.
