We look at the division of 286512 by 84 
We want to divide 286512 by 84.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 84

Let's proceed to step 2:
84 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 286 / 84

Advancing to step 3:
84 can be fit into 286 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 252 away from 286, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 345 / 84

Step 4:
345 divided by 84 is 4 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we take 336 away from 345, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 91 / 84

Step 5:
91 divided by 84 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 341.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 84 from 91.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 84

Step 6:
The number 84 fits into 72 0 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3410.0
Subtracting 0 from 72 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 7:
720 divided by 84 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3410.8
Subtracting 672 from 720 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 8:
84 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3410.85
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 420 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
84 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3410.857
If we take 588 away from 600, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 84 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3410.8571
Subtracting 84 from 120 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.

Step 11:
84 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3410.85714
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
84 can be fit into 240 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3410.857142
If we take 168 away from 240, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 84 fits into 720 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3410.8571428
Subtracting 672 from 720 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 480 by 84, we get 5 and a remainder of 60.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3410.85714285
Deduct 420 from 480 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 3410.85714285 with a remaining 6e-08.
