78712 divided by 83 
We want to divide 78712 by 83.

Let's proceed to step 1:
83 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 83

Advancing to step 2:
78 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 78.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 78 leaves us with 78.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 78 and continue with: 787 / 83

Step 3:
787 divided by 83 is 9 with a remainder of 40.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 747 from 787.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 401 / 83

Let's proceed to step 4:
401 divided by 83 is 4 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 94.0
Subtract 332 from 401 to get 69.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 692 / 83

Moving on to step 5:
83 can be fit into 692 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 948.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 664 from 692.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 280 by 83, we get 3 with a remainder of 31.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 948.3
Subtract 249 from 280 to 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 7:
The number 83 fits into 310 3 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 948.33
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 948.33 with a balance of 0.061.
