We divide 78982 by 84
Our goal is to divide 78982 by 84.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 84 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 84

Step 2:
If we divide 78 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 78.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 78 and we're left with 78.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 78, then repeat: 789 / 84

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 789 by 84, we get 9 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 756 away from 789, we end up with 33.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 338 / 84

Step 4:
When dividing 338 by 84, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 94.0
If we subtract 336 from 338, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 84

On to step 5:
22 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 940.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 6:
84 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 940.2
If we take 168 away from 220, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 520 by 84, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 940.26
Deduct 504 from 520 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 84, we get 1 with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 940.261
If we subtract 84 from 160, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
84 goes into 760 9 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 940.2619
If we take 756 away from 760, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 940.2619
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 84, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 940.261904
Subtracting 336 from 400 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 640 by 84, we get 7 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 940.2619047
Deduct 588 from 640 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
520 divided by 84 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 940.26190476
Deduct 504 from 520 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 940.26190476 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
