Let's divide 996709 by 84
We want to divide 996709 by 84.

Moving on to step 1:
84 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 84

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 84 fits into 99 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 84 from 99 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 156 / 84

Step 3:
156 divided by 84 is 1 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 84 from 156 to get 72.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 727 / 84

Moving on to step 4:
84 can be fit into 727 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 118.0
Subtracting 672 from 727 leaves us with 55.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 550 / 84

On to step 5:
84 can be fit into 550 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1186.0
Deduct 504 from 550 and we're left with 46.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 469 / 84

Moving on to step 6:
469 divided by 84 is 5 with a remainder of 49.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11865.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 420 from 469.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 490 by 84, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11865.5
Subtract 420 from 490 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
700 divided by 84 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11865.58
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 672 from 700.
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:
If we divide 280 by 84, we get 3 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11865.583
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 252 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
84 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11865.5833
Subtract 252 from 280 to 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.

The final result is 11865.5833 with a remainder of 0.00028.
