We divide 986994 by 84
We're looking to find how many times 84 goes into 986994.

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
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 84

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 84, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 84 away from 98, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 146 / 84

Advancing to step 3:
84 goes into 146 1 times with a remainder of 62.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 84 from 146 and we're left with 62.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 62, then repeat: 629 / 84

Let's proceed to step 4:
84 can be fit into 629 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we take 588 away from 629, we end up with 41.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 419 / 84

Step 5:
The number 84 fits into 419 4 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1174.0
Deduct 336 from 419 and we're left with 83.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 83, then carry on: 834 / 84

Advancing to step 6:
84 can be fit into 834 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11749.0
Subtract 756 from 834 to get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 84 fits into 780 9 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11749.9
Subtracting 756 from 780 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 240 by 84, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11749.92
If we subtract 168 from 240, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 84 fits into 720 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11749.928
Deduct 672 from 720 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 84 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11749.9285
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 420 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 600 by 84, we get 7 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11749.92857
If we subtract 588 from 600, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 120 by 84, we get 1 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11749.928571
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 360 by 84, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11749.9285714
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 14:
240 divided by 84 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11749.92857142
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.

The final result is 11749.92857142 with a remainder of 7.2e-08.
