Let's divide 481872 by 84
We want to divide 481872 by 84.

Advancing to step 1:
84 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 84

Moving on to step 2:
The number 84 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 481 / 84

Step 3:
The number 84 fits into 481 5 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 420 away from 481, we end up with 61.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 61, then repeat: 618 / 84

Going ahead to step 4:
84 goes into 618 7 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtracting 588 from 618 leaves us with 30.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 307 / 84

Moving on to step 5:
307 divided by 84 is 3 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 573.0
If we take 252 away from 307, we end up with 55.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 552 / 84

On to step 6:
552 divided by 84 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5736.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 504 from 552.
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 7:
The number 84 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5736.5
Subtracting 420 from 480 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 8:
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: 5736.57
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.

Moving on to step 9:
84 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5736.571
If we subtract 84 from 120, we get 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 10:
If we divide 360 by 84, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5736.5714
Subtracting 336 from 360 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.

On to step 11:
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: 5736.57142
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 168 from 240.
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 12:
The number 84 fits into 720 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5736.571428
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.

Step 13:
If we divide 480 by 84, we get 5 and a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5736.5714285
If we take 420 away from 480, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
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: 5736.57142857
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.

Our division results in 5736.57142857 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
