We divide 216172 by 84
We want to divide 216172 by 84.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of 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

On to step 2:
The number 84 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 216 / 84

Step 3:
When dividing 216 by 84, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 168 from 216 to get 48.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 481 / 84

Going ahead to step 4:
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: 25.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 420 from 481.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 617 / 84

Going ahead to step 5:
84 can be fit into 617 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 257.0
Subtracting 588 from 617 leaves us with 29.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 292 / 84

Going ahead to step 6:
84 goes into 292 3 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2573.0
If we subtract 252 from 292, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
84 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2573.4
Subtract 336 from 400 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 84 fits into 640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2573.47
If we subtract 588 from 640, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 84 fits into 520 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2573.476
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.

Moving on to step 10:
84 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2573.4761
If we subtract 84 from 160, we 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 760 by 84, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2573.47619
Subtracting 756 from 760 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
84 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2573.47619
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
84 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2573.4761904
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 336 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
640 divided by 84 is 7 with a remainder of 52.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2573.47619047
If we subtract 588 from 640, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2573.47619047 with a remaining 5.2e-08.
