We divide 240981 by 84
Our goal is to divide 240981 by 84.

Advancing to step 1:
84 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 84

Moving on to step 2:
84 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 240 / 84

Step 3:
84 can be fit into 240 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 168 from 240 to get 72.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 729 / 84

Let's proceed to step 4:
84 can be fit into 729 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 672 from 729.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 578 / 84

On to step 5:
578 divided by 84 is 6 with a remainder of 74.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 286.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 504 from 578.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 741 / 84

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 741 by 84, we get 8 and a remainder of 69.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2868.0
If we subtract 672 from 741, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 690 by 84, we get 8 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2868.8
Subtracting 672 from 690 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 180 by 84, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2868.82
If we subtract 168 from 180, 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.

On to step 9:
120 divided by 84 is 1 with a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2868.821
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.

Advancing to step 10:
84 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2868.8214
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.

Advancing to step 11:
84 can be fit into 240 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2868.82142
Subtracting 168 from 240 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 720 by 84, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2868.821428
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 672 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 480 by 84, we get 5 and a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2868.8214285
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.

Step 14:
The number 84 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2868.82142857
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.

The quotient of the division is 2868.82142857, and the remainder is 1.2e-08.
