We divide 218031 by 84
We want to divide 218031 by 84.

Moving on 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
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 84

Let's proceed to step 2:
21 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 84

Let's proceed to step 3:
84 can be fit into 218 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 168 from 218 leaves us with 50.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 500 / 84

Step 4:
If we divide 500 by 84, we get 5 and a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 420 away from 500, we end up with 80.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 80 and repeat the process: 803 / 84

Step 5:
If we divide 803 by 84, we get 9 and a remainder of 47.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 259.0
Subtracting 756 from 803 leaves us with 47.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 471 / 84

Step 6:
The number 84 fits into 471 5 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2595.0
If we subtract 420 from 471, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 510 by 84, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2595.6
If we subtract 504 from 510, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
84 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2595.6
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us 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 9:
84 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2595.607
Deduct 588 from 600 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 84 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2595.6071
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 360 by 84, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2595.60714
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left 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 12:
84 can be fit into 240 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2595.607142
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.

Step 13:
84 can be fit into 720 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2595.6071428
If we subtract 672 from 720, we 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.

Moving on to step 14:
84 goes into 480 5 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2595.60714285
If we subtract 420 from 480, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2595.60714285 with a remaining 6e-08.
