870993 ÷ 84 
We're looking to find how many times 84 goes into 870993.

Step 1:
If we divide 8 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 84

Advancing to step 2:
87 divided by 84 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 84 from 87.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 84

Step 3:
84 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 309 / 84

Advancing to step 4:
84 goes into 309 3 times with a remainder of 57.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 103.0
Subtract 252 from 309 to get 57.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 579 / 84

Advancing to step 5:
The number 84 fits into 579 6 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1036.0
If we take 504 away from 579, we end up with 75.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 75, then carry on: 753 / 84

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 753 by 84, we get 8 and a remainder of 81.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10368.0
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 672 from 753.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
84 goes into 810 9 times with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10368.9
Subtract 756 from 810 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
84 can be fit into 540 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 10368.96
Deduct 504 from 540 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
84 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10368.964
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
240 divided by 84 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10368.9642
Deduct 168 from 240 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 84 fits into 720 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10368.96428
Subtract 672 from 720 to get 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 12:
The number 84 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10368.964285
Subtract 420 from 480 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 600 by 84, we get 7 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10368.9642857
Deduct 588 from 600 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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 84 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10368.96428571
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.

After the division, we end up with 10368.96428571 and a remainder of 3.6e-08.
