We're dividing 231197 by 84 
Our goal is to divide 231197 by 84.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 84 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 84

On to step 2:
84 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 231 / 84

Going ahead to step 3:
84 can be fit into 231 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 168 from 231 to get 63.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 631 / 84

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 84 fits into 631 7 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 588 from 631 leaves us with 43.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 439 / 84

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 439 by 84, we get 5 and a remainder of 19.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 275.0
Subtracting 420 from 439 leaves us with 19.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 197 / 84

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 197 by 84, we get 2 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2752.0
Subtract 168 from 197 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 290 by 84, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2752.3
Deduct 252 from 290 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 84 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2752.34
If we take 336 away from 380, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 84 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2752.345
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.

On to step 10:
The number 84 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2752.3452
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us with 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 11:
84 goes into 320 3 times with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2752.34523
If we subtract 252 from 320, we get 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 12:
The number 84 fits into 680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2752.345238
Subtracting 672 from 680 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
80 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2752.345238
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 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 14:
When dividing 800 by 84, we get 9 with a remainder of 44.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2752.34523809
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 756 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2752.34523809 with a remaining 4.4e-08.
