We're dividing 300231 by 84 
We're looking to find how many times 84 goes into 300231.

On to step 1:
84 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 84

Going ahead to step 2:
84 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 300 / 84

Step 3:
300 divided by 84 is 3 with a remainder of 48.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 252 from 300.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 482 / 84

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 84 fits into 482 5 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 420 from 482 to get 62.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 623 / 84

On to step 5:
84 goes into 623 7 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 357.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 588 from 623.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 351 / 84

On to step 6:
When dividing 351 by 84, we get 4 with a remainder of 15.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3574.0
If we take 336 away from 351, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 150 by 84, we get 1 and a remainder of 66.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3574.1
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 84 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 660 by 84, we get 7 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3574.17
Deduct 588 from 660 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.

Moving on to step 9:
84 can be fit into 720 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3574.178
Subtract 672 from 720 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
84 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3574.1785
Deduct 420 from 480 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
84 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3574.17857
Subtracting 588 from 600 leaves us with 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:
84 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3574.178571
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us with 36.
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.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3574.1785714
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.

On to step 14:
The number 84 fits into 240 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3574.17857142
Subtract 168 from 240 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3574.17857142 with a balance of 7.2e-08.
