We look at the division of 216998 by 84 
Our goal is to divide 216998 by 84.

Going ahead to step 1:
84 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 84

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 216 / 84

Moving on to step 3:
84 goes into 216 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 168 from 216 leaves us with 48.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 489 / 84

Moving on to step 4:
84 can be fit into 489 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 420 from 489 to get 69.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 699 / 84

Moving on to step 5:
699 divided by 84 is 8 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 258.0
Deduct 672 from 699 and we're left with 27.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 278 / 84

On to step 6:
The number 84 fits into 278 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2583.0
Deduct 252 from 278 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 84 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2583.3
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 84 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2583.3
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
800 divided by 84 is 9 with a remainder of 44.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2583.309
Deduct 756 from 800 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
84 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2583.3095
Subtract 420 from 440 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 84 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2583.30952
If we subtract 168 from 200, we 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.

Advancing to step 12:
320 divided by 84 is 3 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2583.309523
Subtracting 252 from 320 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 680 by 84, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2583.3095238
Subtract 672 from 680 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
84 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2583.3095238
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2583.3095238, with a leftover of 8e-08.
