We divide 278990 by 84
Let's see how many times 84 fits into 278990.

Step 1:
84 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 84

Moving on to step 2:
The number 84 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 278 / 84

On to step 3:
84 can be fit into 278 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 252 from 278 and we're left with 26.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 269 / 84

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 269 by 84, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33.0
Deduct 252 from 269 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 179 / 84

Moving on to step 5:
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: 332.0
If we take 168 away from 179, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 110 / 84

Going ahead to step 6:
84 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3321.0
Subtracting 84 from 110 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 260 by 84, we get 3 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3321.3
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3321.3
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 800 by 84, we get 9 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3321.309
If we take 756 away from 800, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 440 by 84, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3321.3095
Subtracting 420 from 440 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 11:
200 divided by 84 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3321.30952
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 320 by 84, we get 3 and a remainder of 68.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3321.309523
If we subtract 252 from 320, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 680 by 84, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3321.3095238
Subtract 672 from 680 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 80 by 84, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3321.3095238
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3321.3095238 with a balance of 8e-08.
