Let's divide 173857 by 84
Our goal is to divide 173857 by 84.

Let's proceed to step 1:
84 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
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

Step 2:
The number 84 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 173 / 84

Advancing to step 3:
84 goes into 173 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 168 from 173 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 84

On to step 4:
58 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 0 from 58.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 585 / 84

Moving on to step 5:
585 divided by 84 is 6 with a remainder of 81.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 206.0
If we take 504 away from 585, we end up with 81.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 81, then repeat: 817 / 84

Step 6:
84 goes into 817 9 times with a remainder of 61.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2069.0
If we take 756 away from 817, we end up with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 610 by 84, we get 7 and a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2069.7
Subtracting 588 from 610 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
84 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2069.72
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 168 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
520 divided by 84 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2069.726
Subtracting 504 from 520 leaves us with 16.
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:
When dividing 160 by 84, we get 1 with a remainder of 76.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2069.7261
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 84 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
760 divided by 84 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2069.72619
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.

On to step 12:
40 divided by 84 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2069.72619
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 84 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2069.7261904
If we subtract 336 from 400, we 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.

On to step 14:
84 goes into 640 7 times with a remainder of 52.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2069.72619047
Subtract 588 from 640 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 2069.72619047 and a remainder of 5.2e-08.
