We divide 53617 by 84
Our goal is to divide 53617 by 84.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 84 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 84

On to step 2:
53 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 53.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 53, we end up with 53.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 536 / 84

Advancing to step 3:
84 can be fit into 536 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 504 from 536 and we're left with 32.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 321 / 84

Going ahead to step 4:
321 divided by 84 is 3 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we subtract 252 from 321, we get 69.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 697 / 84

Step 5:
The number 84 fits into 697 8 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 638.0
If we subtract 672 from 697, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 84 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 638.2
If we subtract 168 from 250, we get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
820 divided by 84 is 9 with a remainder of 64.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 638.29
Subtract 756 from 820 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
84 goes into 640 7 times with a remainder of 52.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 638.297
If we take 588 away from 640, 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 9:
84 can be fit into 520 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 638.2976
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 504 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 84, we get 1 and a remainder of 76.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 638.29761
Subtract 84 from 160 to 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.

On to step 11:
84 goes into 760 9 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 638.297619
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 12:
If we divide 40 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 638.297619
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
400 divided by 84 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 638.29761904
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.

Our division results in 638.29761904 with a remaining 6.4e-08.
