Let's divide 179484 by 84
We want to divide 179484 by 84.

Step 1:
The number 84 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 84

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 179 / 84

Step 3:
The number 84 fits into 179 2 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 168 from 179 and we're left with 11.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 114 / 84

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 114 by 84, we get 1 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 84 from 114 to get 30.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 308 / 84

Step 5:
The number 84 fits into 308 3 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 213.0
Subtract 252 from 308 to get 56.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 564 / 84

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 564 by 84, we get 6 with a remainder of 60.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2136.0
Subtract 504 from 564 to 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 600 by 84, we get 7 and a remainder of 12.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2136.7
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 84 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2136.71
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 360 by 84, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2136.714
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 84 fits into 240 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2136.7142
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.

On to step 11:
84 can be fit into 720 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2136.71428
Subtracting 672 from 720 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 84 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2136.714285
Subtract 420 from 480 to 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.

Step 13:
When dividing 600 by 84, we get 7 with a remainder of 12.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2136.7142857
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
84 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2136.71428571
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up 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.

Our division results in 2136.71428571 with a remaining 3.6e-08.
