Let's divide 1973 by 84
We want to figure out the number of times 1973 can be divided by 84.

Let's proceed to step 1:
84 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 84

On to step 2:
If we divide 19 by 84, we get 0 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 19, we get 19.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 197 / 84

On to step 3:
The number 84 fits into 197 2 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 168 from 197.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 293 / 84

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 84 fits into 293 3 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 252 from 293, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 5:
The number 84 fits into 410 4 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.4
Subtract 336 from 410 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 84 fits into 740 8 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.48
Subtract 672 from 740 to 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
680 divided by 84 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.488
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 672 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 23.488 and a remainder of 0.0008.
